About Arkansas Income Tax
Arkansas has been actively reducing its income tax rates since 2021, targeting a flat 4.0% long-term. For 2026, the top marginal rate is 4.4%, applying to income above $87,000 for single filers. The state uses a three-bracket structure with rates of 2%, 3.4%, and 4.4%. Arkansas also provides a low-income tax credit that effectively zeroes out liability for very low earners. The state allows a credit for federal income taxes paid (capped), similar to Alabama. Arkansas does not conform to the federal standard deduction — it uses its own deduction amounts. Grocery food purchases are taxable at a reduced rate, and the state has one of the higher combined sales tax rates nationally. The ongoing rate reductions make Arkansas increasingly competitive for workers and businesses.
