Data notes for Montana
Since tax year 2024 Montana starts from federal taxable income (federal AGI minus the FEDERAL standard deduction; for 2026 the federal standard deduction is $16,100 single / $32,200 MFJ / $24,150 HOH per IRS, and Montana flows through the OBBBA amounts). No Montana standard deduction or personal exemption on top of that (both repealed from 2024 by SB 399; PE exemptions/applies=false from 2024), so standard_deduction here is 0 to avoid double counting. No federal tax deduction since 2024. 2026 rates per HB 337 (2025): 4.7% up to $47,500 single / $95,000 MFJ / $71,250 HOH, 5.65% above (top rate cut from 5.9%). Brackets are the 2026 figures published by MT DOR (confirmed by web search of revenue.mt.gov HB 337 page) and match PE explicit 2026 values. Capital-gains rate schedule ignored (wages only). No state payroll contributions for employees. No local income taxes.
