Why Nevada doesn't tax your paycheck
Nevada funds itself largely through gaming and tourism revenue and a statewide sales tax, so it has never needed a personal income tax. There is no state withholding line and no state return on your wages — just federal income tax and FICA.
What still comes out of a Nevada paycheck
You still owe federal income tax for your bracket and filing status, Social Security at 6.2% up to the annual wage base, and Medicare at 1.45%. Nevada has no state disability (SDI) or paid-family-leave payroll deduction, so nothing extra is withheld at the state level. Pre-tax 401(k), HSA, and health premiums lower your taxable wages — add them above to see the effect.
