Your state's tax department

Your W-2 works the same everywhere for federal tax. State income tax is different in every state, so for your state's rates, forms and deadline, go to its official tax department.

Find your state

Nine states don't tax wages: Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington and Wyoming. Washington taxes some capital gains, but not wages. If you live in one of these, boxes 15 to 17 on your W-2 may be blank.

Sources: each link is the state tax agency link on the IRS's State government websites pages (checked October 2026; where the IRS linked a business-only page, this list points to the same agency's home page). States that don't tax wages: Tax Foundation, 2026 State Income Tax Rates and Brackets (rates as of January 1, 2026), an independent research group, not a government source. Tax year 2026.

Worked in more than one state?

Your W-2 can show a separate line in boxes 15 to 17 for each state. Each state's tax department explains whether you file there, so check the site for every state listed on your W-2.
