Why a New Hampshire paycheck has no state tax line
New Hampshire does not tax W-2 wages (NH DRA). The Interest & Dividends Tax was 5% for periods ending before Dec 31, 2023, 4% for periods ending on/after Dec 31, 2023, 3% for periods ending on/after Dec 31, 2024, and is repealed for taxable periods beginning after December 31, 2024 (accelerated by HB 2 of 2023 from the original 2027 repeal; TIR 2025-001). No 2025 or later I&D returns are filed.
Business Profits Tax (RSA 77-A): 7.5% of taxable business profits for taxable periods ending on or after Dec 31, 2023; filing required if gross business income exceeds $109,000 (threshold per DRA March 2026 guidance). Applies to sole proprietors and pass-through business activity, not wages.
Business Enterprise Tax (RSA 77-E): 0.55% of the enterprise value tax base (compensation + interest + dividends paid) for taxable periods ending on or after Dec 31, 2022; filing required if gross business receipts exceed $298,000 or the enterprise value tax base exceeds $298,000. BET paid is a credit against BPT.
For business taxes NH remains tied to the Internal Revenue Code as of Dec 31, 2018 (has not adopted the One Big Beautiful Bill Act).
No local income taxes.
Your employer still withholds federal income tax from your Form W-4 and Social Security and Medicare. Not sure your W-4 is right? Use the W-4 withholding calculator.
