Frequently Asked Questions — Arizona State Taxes
Does Arizona have a state income tax?
Yes. Arizona levies a state individual income tax in 2019. The rates and brackets shown above apply to residents filing as single or married filing jointly. Flat 2.5% rate as of 2023. Dependent credit $100/child under 17, $25/child 17+.
How do Arizona tax brackets work?
Like federal taxes, Arizona uses a marginal (progressive) tax system. Only the income within each bracket is taxed at that rate — not all your income. For example, if Arizona has a 5% top rate, you pay 5% only on income above the top bracket threshold, not on your entire salary.
What is the difference between marginal and effective tax rate in Arizona?
Your marginal tax rate is the rate on your highest dollar of income. Your effective tax rate is your total state tax bill divided by your gross income — always lower than your marginal rate. For example, a worker at the top bracket in Arizona may have a marginal rate of 2.5% but an effective rate several points lower due to income in lower brackets.
