Taxes on a Mississippi paycheck
Mississippi taxes income over $10,000 at 4.0% in 2026, after personal exemptions ($6,000 single, $12,000 married) and a standard deduction. Your paycheck also has federal income tax, withheld with the 2026 IRS tables and your Form W-4, plus Social Security and Medicare.
How Mississippi withholding is figured
- Your employer annualizes your wages, subtracts your exemption from Form 89-350 ($6,000 single, $12,000 married, $9,500 head of family, plus $1,500 per dependent) and a standard deduction ($2,300 single, $4,600 married, $3,400 head of family), and withholds 4% of the amount over $10,000, rounded to whole dollars.
- When both spouses work they split the $12,000 exemption and use the $2,300 deduction.
