Hawaii Taxable Income and Deductions
One advantage of paying taxes in Hawaii is that several types of income the federal government deems taxable are not taxed by the state. For example, Social Security benefits should be subtracted from an individual’s income to calculate their total taxable income. Pension earnings are also not taxable in Hawaii as long as you didn’t make contributions to the plan (employee-contributed retirement plans are partially taxable).
Taxpayers of Hawaii can also claim itemized deductions on their state tax returns. However, in order to do so, their total sum has to be more than the standard deduction for their filing status. The 2024 Hawaii standard deduction for single filers and those married filing separately is $4,400 (up from $2,200). The 2024 standard deduction for those married filing jointly is $8,800.
Hawaii Tax Changes Coming in 2025
The Governor of Hawaii signed a new tax bill into law in 2024. The bill will significantly reduce income tax liability for individuals who live in Hawaii and slowly increase the standard deduction rates through 2031.
