Utah flat tax rate
The state of Utah operates under a flat tax filing rate. Regardless of filing status or income level, all individual taxpayers, estates, and trusts pay 4.65% state income tax on their earnings for 2023.
No available Utah tax deductions
While the 4.65% Utah state tax rate may seem small compared to others, it’s important to note taxpayers are not allowed to itemize deductions or claim a standard deduction to reduce their taxable income. There are, however, a variety of tax credits available.
For instance, retired taxpayers can claim the Retirement Income Tax Credit, which is a refundable credit of up to $450 for single filers over the age of 65 ($900 for married filing jointly). If a taxpayer died during the year, the retirement credit can be claimed if the deceased taxpayer was age 65 or older on the date of death.
Taxpayers can also take advantage of the Taxpayer Tax Credit. That allows filers to claim a credit equal to 6% of the total deductions claimed on their federal returns. The credit does phase out at certain income levels.
Utah taxpayers can also claim a credit for qualified contributions to a Utah my529 account.
