How Nevada Income Tax Works
Nevada is one of nine US states with no state income tax. Residents only pay federal income tax (to the IRS) and FICA (Social Security + Medicare). Nevada makes up for the lack of state income tax through higher sales tax, property tax, or revenue from natural resources (especially in Nevada's case).
When you earn income in Nevada, your employer withholds both federal income tax (sent to the IRS) and NV state tax (sent to the Nevada Department of Revenue). At tax time, you file two separate returns: one federal (Form 1040) and one NV state return.
Since Nevada has no state income tax, you only file a federal return (Form 1040). You don't need to file a Nevada state return. Some Nevada cities may have local income taxes — check with your city or county for details.
Example: Nevada Tax on $75,000

- NV state tax: $0 (calculated using the brackets above)
- FICA (Social Security + Medicare): $5,738 (7.65% on first $168,600)
- Total annual tax burden: ~$16,200
- Effective tax rate: 21.6% (federal only)
