No income tax, at any level
South Dakota taxes neither personal nor corporate income. There is no state withholding line on your paycheck and no state return to file on wages — only federal income tax and FICA apply.
What still comes out of your check
You will see federal income tax for your bracket, Social Security at 6.2%, and Medicare at 1.45%. There is no state SDI or PFML deduction. Pre-tax 401(k), HSA, or health premiums reduce your taxable wages; include them above to see the difference.
