How West Virginia taxes income
West Virginia cut every bracket rate by 5% for 2026, retroactive to January. It has 5 brackets for a single filer, so the rate on your last dollar is higher than your overall rate.

What this does not include
- Local or city income tax, which West Virginia allows
- Dependants, children, and credits that have to be claimed on a return
- Post-tax deductions, such as health insurance premiums
- Anything on a W-4 beyond filing status
- Head of household and married filing separately, which are not modelled
