How to calculate your South Dakota income taxes

Understanding your South Dakota income taxes

South Dakota is one of the few states that do not levy a state income tax. This means residents can enjoy their full wages without the deductions a state income tax would impose.

South Dakota does not impose a local income tax. However, employers must pay a state unemployment insurance tax. The rate for this tax varies based on the employer’s industry and experience with unemployment claims.

As South Dakota does not impose a state income tax, it does not offer a standard deduction or personal exemptions.

Calculate your income tax in South Dakota

1. Work out your total federal income tax
   1. Gross income adjusted
      Gross income − Pre-tax deductions = Gross income adjusted
   2. Federal taxable income
      Gross income adjusted − Federal standard/itemized deductions = Federal taxable income
   3. Federal income tax liability
      Federal taxable income × Federal income tax rate = Federal income tax liability
   4. Federal payroll tax liability
      Gross income × Federal payroll tax rate = Federal payroll tax liability
2. Add up all the taxes
   Federal income tax liability + Federal payroll tax liability = Your total income tax liability
