About Mississippi Income Tax
Mississippi transitioned to a flat income tax in recent years, with the rate reducing to 4.7% in 2026 and targeted to reach 4.0% by 2026–2030 under a multi-year phase-down plan. The first $10,000 of income is exempt under the state's exemption structure. Mississippi does not have a state standard deduction but allows itemized deductions. Mississippi also exempts retirement income — Social Security, pensions, 401k and IRA distributions — from state tax entirely, making it one of the most retiree-friendly states for income tax purposes. Mississippi has no local income taxes. The state sales tax is 7%, one of the higher rates nationally. Mississippi has among the lowest costs of living in the United States, meaning take-home pay goes further on average despite the middle-range income tax. Property taxes are low.
