South Dakota has no state income tax on wages.
South Dakota residents only need to worry about their federal W-4. Calculate your federal withholding to get started.
With no state withholding, the only income tax taken from a South Dakota paycheck is federal. Your federal W-4 sets that amount, so the choices that matter are your filing status, whether a second job or working spouse needs Step 2, and any credits or extra withholding in Steps 3 and 4. Social Security and Medicare are withheld on top of it.
If you work in a different state than you live in, that state may still withhold tax from your pay. See the moving to a new state guide, the step-by-step W-4 walkthrough and the withholding calculator.
Calculate your exact federal withholding — takes about 2 minutes.
