State Taxes v/s Federal Taxes In USA:

A multi-tiered income tax system is run by the government of United States under which, state, and sometimes local governments are separately responsible to impose taxes on individuals as well as businesses. Although, federal taxes and state taxes are somehow similar as these are imposed on a specific rate on taxable income; however these are considerably different in the fact that the tax rates, taxable income as well as taxation criteria are totally different in both cases. Furthermore, tax credits as well as deductions also vary greatly in case of state and federal taxes in United States. We provide accurate state representation services in United States as per the needs of individual clients and their respective states.

The federal tax system in USA enables the taxpayers to ask for a claim on standard deduction, or they can do itemized deductions, but they cannot do both of these. Under the TCJA, a considerable increase is seen in standard deductions in the year of 2018. Since 2019, the values have been increased i.e. for single taxpayers, $12,200 is set as standard deduction, for head of household filers, the value is set of $18,350 while for married taxpayers who need to file joint returns, the value is $24,400.

In case of retirement income, a number of states in USA, either partially or fully, providing exemption on the retirement income from taxation, which is not seen in case of federal tax authorities where the retirement income is fully taxable. Therefore, you need retirement planning & advisory in USA so that your retirement income could not get wasted in the name of taxation. Furthermore, taxing bond interest is also dissimilar in case of federal and state taxes i.e. state taxes exempt interest on U.S. savings bonds which is subjected to interest in case of federal taxation in USA. we provide our clients with the best state representation services in United States so that they do not get caught in any confusing regulation of state laws.

A drastic difference is also found in case of tax credits of state tax and tax credits of federal taxes, therefore a separate and distinctive state representation services is required. It is better explained by an example; a tax credit is allowed by the state of New York on the basis of 20% of premiums that are paid for long-term care insurance, which is not allowed by the federal taxation legislations in United States. However, the federal government allows tax credits in other cases that mainly include retirement savings, educational expenses, dependent care expenses, etc. The International Rescue Committee (IRC) also endows with an earned income tax credit, and 29 states plus the District of Columbia propose their own versions of this credit, too. Personal tax filing in USA also has some minor, but vital differences in their state and federal structure.

State withholding tax has also differences from federal withholding tax. Although, state withholding functions on the same principle as that of federal withholding for income tax, but it must be noted that states have their individual version of Form W-4 for this purpose that is the main part of our state representation services in United States. Both local and state governments have the power to impose withholding on wage income, but they have their own tax rates. Both state and federal income taxes can be withheld, but state taxes & federal taxes cannot be withheld twice at both levels. Moreover, seven states in USA do not have an income tax at all that include Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming. In addition, Tennessee and New Hampshire impose taxes on interest and dividend income and not on wage; therefore they do not have withholding.
