Part 6. Frequently Asked Questions

The United States has a system for all taxpayers, but state rules vary. The federal government collects federal income taxes, whereas state income taxes are collected by the individual state(s) where a taxpayer lives and earns income. Depending on your income and filing status, there are seven federal tax brackets ranging from 10% to 37%. Some states levy a flat-rate tax, while others levy a progressive system or have no state income tax at all.
The federal income tax rate is determined by your income and filing status, not where you live. As a result, regardless of where they live, everyone is subject to the same federal tax rates. However, because state taxes differ, a taxpayer's total tax liability will vary depending on where they live and earn their income.
Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Tennessee, and Wyoming.
In most cases, your income, filing status, and age determine if you must file a tax return. Other rules may apply if the taxpayer is self-employed or can be claimed as someone else's dependent. There are additional reasons why a taxpayer must file. The Interactive Tax Assistant can assist you in determining if you need to file a return.
The IRS encourages taxpayers to file electronically with direct deposit information as soon as they have everything they need to file an accurate return in order to expedite refunds. If the return contains errors or is incomplete, it may necessitate additional review, which may cause the tax refund to be delayed. When preparing the 2022 tax return, having all information available can help to reduce errors and avoid processing delays.
