How Utah taxes income
Utah charges a flat rate that's fallen for six straight years, reaching 4.45% in 2026 — several of those cuts applied retroactively. Instead of a standard deduction, Utah gives a taxpayer credit that phases out as income rises, so effective rates creep toward the full flat rate for higher earners.

Rate cut to 4.45% for 2026 — Utah's sixth consecutive annual reduction. Utah uses a phased-out taxpayer credit instead of a standard deduction; modeled as zero deduction.
