No state income tax in New Hampshire
New Hampshire is one of the few states in the United States that does not impose an income tax on individual wages and salaries. However, any dividends and interest income earned from investments is subject to taxation. This means:
- If you earn money through dividends or interest, you are required to file a New Hampshire state income tax return.
- Taxpayers who have income solely from their regular wages do not need to file a return.
As of tax year 2024, dividend and interest income are taxed at a flat rate of 4%, regardless of filing status or business structure (decreasing to 3% in 2025).
New Hampshire personal exemptions
For those who have to file and pay tax on their income, there is a standard personal exemption available:
- Single filers: $2,400
- Married filing jointly: $4,800
These exemptions mean that even if a taxpayer makes income from interest and dividends, they do not have to pay taxes on the amount earned if it’s below the personal exemption amount for their filing status. If their earnings are above the personal exemption amount, they must pay 4% on the amount that exceeds that limit.
Additionally, taxpayers who are age 65 or older, blind or younger than 65 but disabled and unable to work can claim a second personal exemption of $1,200.
