2026 Tax Tables
Texas is one of nine states with no state income tax. Texas employers only need to withhold federal income tax, Social Security, and Medicare from employee wages — there is no Texas state income tax to calculate. This makes payroll withholding simpler than in most states, but federal withholding still requires accurate W-4 data and the 2026 IRS Publication 15-T tables.
