What sets Utah apart in 2026
Utah cut its flat rate from 4.5% to 4.45% this year. The bill, SB 60, took effect in May 2026 but reaches back to the start of the tax year, so the lower rate covers all of 2026. Utah has no standard deduction at all. It gives a taxpayer tax credit instead, worth 6% of the federal standard deduction: $966 single or $1,932 joint.
That credit is where the flat rate stops being flat. It shrinks by 1.3 cents for every dollar of income above $18,696 ($37,392 joint) and is gone at about $93,000 ($186,000 joint). So at $50,000 and $75,000 the state takes 5.75% of your next dollar, not 4.45%, and at $100,000 and $150,000, with the credit fully gone, the state tax is exactly 4.45% of gross: $4,450 and $6,675. Among the 29 states compared Utah ranks 18th at $50,000, 20th at $75,000, 21st at $100,000 and 17th at $150,000.
Two details are not final. The $18,696 threshold is the 2025 figure indexed for inflation, and the 2026 form that prints it comes out around December. Withholding also removes the credit faster than the return does, so paychecks can take out about $170 more than the yearly tax on $80,000, returned when you file. No Utah city or county taxes income.
