Understanding your Arizona income taxes
Arizona’s income tax structure is a flat rate of 2%.
The state eschews a distinct payroll tax, but employers aren’t entirely free from obligations. They contribute to a state unemployment insurance tax, providing a safety net for individuals facing job loss.
Arizona’s approach to standard deductions and exemptions is an exercise in generosity. With a standard deduction of $12,200 for single filers and $24,400 for joint filers, along with tax credits for dependents and the elderly, it offers taxpayers a degree of financial respite.
