No Income Tax States
These states generate revenue through other means like sales tax, property tax, or natural resource taxes. Residents pay $0 in state income tax.
Flat Tax States
Apply a single tax rate to all income levels after deductions. For example, if Illinois has a 4.95% rate and your taxable income is $50,000, you pay $2,475.
