if you pay the fed tax do you also have to pay the state tax?

Answer 1

Yes

Federal and State (and Local) each handle their own tax collection and payment to one jurisdiction has nothing to do with payment to another. The only exception to that statement would be that federal will credit your state and local taxes if you itemize your deductions on schedule A

Answer 2

If you live in a state that has federal income tax, you do - and most of the states do.

It's possible that you would have to file a state return even though you don't have to file federal. That depends on your state's laws. In PA for example, if you have income over something like $37 you are required to file a return.

Answer 3

It depends on what state you are in and your level of income. Some states don't have an income tax, and some states have a higher threshold for income than the feds.

Answer 4

Yes, you have to pay both. State tax is less than federal tax.

Answer 5

Yes, you have to pay state taxes.

Answer 6

Of course. Unless you live in a state where there is no state income tax (like Texas).

Answer 7

If your state has a state income tax, you do have to pay that as well. Not all states have state income tax.

If you live in a city or locality that charges income taxes, you also have to pay that.

Answer 8

yes, if the state you reside in has a state income tax (not all states do).

Answer 9

Most states will issue a refund check though for state taxes paid

Answer 10

yes
