Utah tax rules to know
Key points from our 2026 Utah data, compiled from the official sources listed at the end of this page:
- Flat rate of 4.45% for tax year 2026, down from 4.5% in 2025 (Utah Code 59-10-104, amended by Chapter 250, 2026 General Session, effective 1/1/2026). Publication 14 (Rev. 04/26) withholding schedules also use 4.45%.
- Utah allows no standard deduction or personal exemption deduction. It gives a nonrefundable taxpayer tax credit instead: 6% of the federal standard deduction (or of federal itemized deductions minus state income tax), plus 6% of the Utah personal exemption for each qualifying dependent (Utah Code 59-10-1018).
- With the 2026 federal standard deduction, the maximum credit is $966 single/MFS (6% x $16,100), $1,449 head of household (6% x $24,150) and $1,932 married filing jointly (6% x $32,200). The dependent amount ($127) is 6% of the 2025 Utah personal exemption of $2,111. The 2026 indexed exemption had not been published.
- The taxpayer credit phases out by 1.3 cents per dollar of Utah taxable income above a base amount. The 2025 base amounts were $18,213 single/MFS, $27,320 head of household and $36,426 married filing jointly, and they are indexed for 2026. A single filer with no dependents loses the whole credit at about $92,500 of Utah taxable income (using the 2025 base; slightly higher for 2026). personal
- Utah also has separate nonrefundable credits, including those for Social Security benefits and retirement income (income-tested) and a child tax credit.
Local income tax: none. Cities and counties in Utah do not levy their own income tax in our 2026 data.
