Question

What states have no income tax in 2026?

Answer

Nine states have no state income tax in 2026: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. New Hampshire repealed its dividend and interest tax in 2025, and Washington still applies a 7% capital gains tax above $270,000. These states often attract high-net-worth households ahead of a liquidity event, but income tax is only one factor. Property taxes, sales taxes, estate taxes, and business franchise taxes all shape your total cost of living, so weigh the full picture before changing residency.
