Not every worker in the United States has to pay state income tax. It depends on the state. As of 2023, Alaska, Florida, Nevada, New Hampshire, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Washington, and Wyoming are the only states that do not levy a state income tax.
If you are required to pay state taxes, you can find the tax form for your state here.
Once you've completed and signed your state tax form, please email it to us at shiftmedpayroll@shiftmed.com.
Due to adjustments and processing times, please allow 2-3 business weeks for your paycheck to reflect your state withholding information.
