Frequently Asked Questions

Does Montana have state income tax?

Yes. Montana uses a simplified graduated schedule based on the filing status claimed on Form MW-4, including a specific bracket for married couples who are both working.

What taxes come out of a Montana paycheck?

Federal income tax, Social Security, Medicare, and Montana state income tax. Montana has no additional statewide employee payroll tax and no local income tax.

What does the married-filing-jointly-both-working bracket change?

Montana's withholding tables give married couples where both spouses work a separate bracket schedule from the standard married-filing-jointly one, which better matches the couple's combined income than a single shared table would — select it on Form MW-4 if it applies to you.
