Arkansas income tax rates 2026
Arkansas has a two-bracket structure topping out at 3.9%, and its bracket thresholds are not doubled for couples filing jointly.
Arkansas applies 2 rate bands to federal taxable wages, topping out at 3.9%. A state standard deduction of $2,470 single and $4,940 joint comes off first. A credit of $29 single, $58 joint, is then subtracted from the tax itself, which pulls the effective rate below the bracket the income falls in. Joint thresholds are the same as single thresholds, so a couple filing together reaches the top rate at the same point a single filer would.
| Rate | Taxable income, single filer |
|---|---|
| 2% | $0 to $4,600 |
| 3.9% | $4,600 and above |
Married filing jointly thresholds are identical to the single figures. State standard deduction $2,470 single, $4,940 joint.
