How Income Tax Works in Alaska

Alaska does not impose a state personal income tax on salaries and wages. When you work in Alaska, the only deductions withheld from your paycheck are federal income taxes and FICA (Social Security & Medicare).

This 0% tax policy provides workers in Alaska with one of the highest take-home pay ratios in the United States, giving residents substantial savings compared to states with high income taxes like California or New York.
