Frequently Asked Questions

What nine US states have zero state income tax? +
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire (dividend/interest tax phasing out in 2027), South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington (has a 7% high-value capital gains tax), and Wyoming.
Does moving to a zero-tax state always save money? +
Not always. Zero-income-tax states frequently make up revenue through higher local property taxes (e.g. Texas property taxes average 1.6-2.2%), higher sales taxes, or toll roads.
