申报州税注意…这9州税率降，这5州不甩联邦规定

国税局(IRS)向来查税严厉加上罚则苛刻，让许多纳税人乖乖遵守规定申报联邦税并缴纳州税，不过今年申报州税时需注意，美国9州调降州税税率，还有5个州不甩联邦新税法规定，继续对小费和加班费课税。

根据近日美国报(USA Today)报导，阿拉斯加、佛罗里达、内华达、新罕布夏、南达科他、田纳西、德州、华盛顿州和怀俄明等州不课征个人所得税，州民无需担心州税申报问题，而且非营利组织税务基金会(Tax Foundation)发现，全国征收州税的41州其中有9州调降2025年申报税率：

1）印第安纳：2025税率从2024的3.05%降至3%，2026年再降至2.95%。

2）爱阿华：2024税率由4.4%-5.7%分级税率降至3.8%统一税率。

3）路易斯安纳：2024税率由1.85%-4.25%分级税率降至3%统一税率。

4）密西西比：2024收入逾一万元部分，统一税率从4.7%降至4.4%，2026年再降至4.0%。

5）密苏里：最高边际税率top marginal rate从4.8%降至4.7%。

6）内布拉斯加：最高边际税率从5.84%降至5.2%。

7）新墨西哥：添加税级，但最低税率从1.7%降至1.5%。

8）北卡罗来纳：统一税率从4.5%降至4.25%，2026再进一步降至3.99%。

9）西维吉尼亚：2024个人所得税分级税率从2.36%-5.12%降至2.22%-4.82%。

不过与过去相比，申报州税的纳税人需要注意，部分州不甩总统川普去年7月4日签署生效的联邦新条款，例如追溯至2025年的老人额外扣除额以及加班费和小费的免税优惠，因此申报州税时，前述收入仍属应税范围，必须加入申报。

1）以加州为例，不承认川普政府新税法为延税退休帐户，因此帐户收益每年都得向州政府申报，加值部分不会延税，并且适用儿童税规则，此外加州雇主的缴款也属于应税收入，只有政府最初提供的1000元启动资金可以免税。

2）至于科罗拉多也否决加班费免税，在州税申报表添加「联邦加班费超额扣除额」，纳税人必须申报联邦扣除额，并将其加回用于申报州税。

3）还有纽约州继续对小费和加班费课税，在IT-225表格添加「免税小费收入加回」和「免税加班费加回」代码；

4）伊利诺虽然尚未采纳加班费和小费免税方案，可能更新附表M，要求对联邦免税的小费和加班费列为应税收入；

5）缅因州也否决老人扣除额以及车贷利息、小费与加班费的扣除额。

01  2026年初的八大州减税

Some Americans have received the good news that they may receive an income tax deduction beginning in 2026.

However, the cuts did not come from the federal government, but from a handful of states; a total of eight states have lowered their income tax rates since Jan. 1, according to the Tax Foundation, a nonprofit think tank.

U.S. experts say states hope to spur economic growth and attract more labor, businesses and investment by increasing residents' incomes.

The Tax Foundation said these tax cuts "show that states are continuing to pursue reforms that will enhance their competitiveness and promote sustained economic growth for years to come."

Figure from the Internet

Here are the eight states that will have low taxes in 2026:

1) Indiana:The single tax rate (flat rate) is reduced from 31 TP3T to 2.951 TP3T in 2025 and will be further reduced to 2.91 TP3T on January 1, 2027; Indiana passed legislation in 2025 that provides for a single personal income tax rate to be reduced by 0.051 TP3T in every even-numbered year from January 1, 2030 onwards, as long as the income threshold is met. The range is gradually reduced to 2.55%.

2) Kentucky:The single tax rate was reduced from 41 TP3T to 3.51 TP3T.

3) Mississippi:The single rate was reduced from 4.41 TP3T to 41 TP3T, the final reduction in a multi-year plan to phase down Mississippi's personal income tax.

4) Montana:The top marginal rate has been reduced from 5.91 TP3T to 5.651 TP3T and is scheduled to be further reduced to 5.41 TP3T in 2027.The lower rate of 4.71 TP3T will remain unchanged, but the scope of application will be extended.

5) Nebraska:The maximum interest rate was reduced to 4.551 TP3T from 5.21 TP3T as part of a plan to gradually reduce the maximum interest rate to 3.991 TP3T by 2027.

6) North Carolina:The single rate was reduced from 4.251 TP3T to 3.991 TP3T, the final rate reduction in a multi-year plan to cut individual income tax rates.

7) Ohio:The single tax rate is reduced from 3.125% to 2.75% for taxpayers earning more than $26,050 per year; those below that income threshold are exempt.

8) Oklahoma:The top rate was reduced from 4.751 TP3T to 4.51 TP3T, and the personal income tax brackets were reduced from six to three.

Therefore, if your side is optimistic about the low tax rate of different states in the United States, you can consult the Enterprise Caiying Group for efficient and professional processing; at the same time, today we also share the applicable groups of U.S. company registration, as well as how to register U.S. companies, how to pick the right state to register the U.S. company to escort your cross-border business to enter the U.S. market!

02 Applicable people for registering a U.S. company

1) Chinese sellers seeking a foothold in the US market:

For Chinese businesses looking to gain a firmer foothold in the U.S. market, having a "local identity" enhances the trust of local consumers and helps them better penetrate and expand into the U.S. market.

2) Merchants who reduce the risk of operating an e-commerce platform:

If business on cross-border e-commerce platforms such as Amazon performs well and orders continue to grow, registering a U.S.-based company can effectively reduce the risk of account blocking and may enjoy various preferential policies and support provided by the platforms for local businesses.

3) Entrepreneurs seeking tax benefits:

Some U.S. states have implemented a variety of tax incentives for local businesses that are designed to promote business activity, innovation, and enterprise development. Therefore, by incorporating in specific regions of the United States, cross-border sellers have the opportunity to take advantage of these financial incentives.

4) Companies that focus on brand image building:

In order to establish a more positive and professional image in the U.S. market, some Chinese companies choose to register their companies in the U.S. in order to obtain an official office address and contact information, thus demonstrating to consumers their identity as a reliable partner, and further enhancing brand recognition and credibility.

5) Businesses that plan to raise capital or go public for expansion:

For Chinese companies that intend to expand through financing, or even seek an IPO, registering an entity in the U.S. often makes it easier to attract the attention of investors.

This is not only because the U.S. has a mature capital market system, but also because it provides access to a wide range of investment resources.

05 U.S. companies are registered, how to maintain later?

1) Annual Audit

An annual review includes confirming or updating the basic business information of the company, such as registered address, agent information, and director information.

The timing and requirements for annual audits vary from state to state; for example, Delaware regular corporations are required to complete an annual audit by March 1, while LLCs are required to do so by June.

Other states, such as New York, have biennial annual audits, while California and Nevada have natural annual audits, i.e., one audit per year.

Failure to keep annual audits on time may result in fines or other legal consequences.

2) Tax Returns

Tax returns for U.S. corporations include both state and federal taxes.

For federal taxes, companies are required to file a tax return at the rate of 21% if there is a business profit, and not if there is no profit.

State taxes vary from state to state; some states such as Nevada, Texas, and Washington do not have a state income tax, while others may have a franchise tax that needs to be paid even if the company does not operate locally, such as California and New York.

When filing taxes, companies are required to file the appropriate tax forms and reports and pay the appropriate taxes based on their type (e.g., C-Corporation or LLC) and operations.

Be careful: even if there are no operations, the company is required to file a zero tax return!
