Arkansas Income Tax Overview
Arkansas runs its own income tax in parallel with the federal system, and the two are calculated separately on separate returns. The state uses graduated brackets: the first slice of taxable income is taxed at the lowest rate, and the rate steps up as income rises until it reaches a top marginal rate of 3.9%. A standard deduction of $2,470 for a single filer comes off before the brackets apply, and the Arkansas Department of Finance and Administration (DFA) handles filing, processing, and refunds.
Almost every resident with taxable income owes this tax, and nonresidents owe it on income earned inside the state. It stacks on top of federal income tax rather than offsetting any of it, so you compute your IRS liability under federal rules and your Arkansas liability under state rules independently. Arkansas softens the bottom end with a low-income tax credit that effectively zeroes out tax on the first chunk of earnings, which is why many lower-paid workers owe little or nothing to the state even while still owing federal tax.
