New Hampshire has no state income tax on wages.
New Hampshire stands out by not imposing a state income tax on wages, offering a significant advantage for employees. While the federal IRC § 225 Overtime Tax Deduction (One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 2025-2028) reduces federal taxable income, it has no direct flow-through impact at the state level in New Hampshire, unlike states that use federal AGI as a starting point for state income tax calculations. This means New Hampshire employees benefit solely from the federal deduction.

New Hampshire does not impose a state income tax on wages, and federal overtime deductions do not impact state tax.
New Hampshire is one of a few states that does not levy a general state income tax on wages. This means employees' gross wages are not subject to state-level income tax withholding. Furthermore, the federal IRC § 225 Overtime Tax Deduction, introduced by the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (2025-2028), is a federal tax benefit designed to reduce federal taxable income. As New Hampshire does not have a state income tax on wages or typically use federal AGI as a direct starting point for state tax calculations (unlike states with broad income taxes), this federal deduction does not create a corresponding state-level tax reduction or adjustment for wage earners.

NH does not have a general income tax statute on wages.
Internal Revenue Code (IRC) § 225 (One Big Beautiful Bill Act, 2025-2028)
Federal provision for overtime tax deduction.
No State Income Tax on Wages
New Hampshire's tax structure is distinct in that it does not impose a state income tax on an individual's wages or salaries. While there is a state interest and dividends tax (RSA 77), this does not apply to earned income from employment. This significantly impacts payroll processing as no state income tax withholding is required from employee paychecks.
Federal IRC § 225 Overtime Deduction Impact
The IRC § 225 deduction is a federal provision aimed at reducing the federal taxable income of employees who earn overtime wages. For New Hampshire employees, this deduction exclusively applies to their federal tax liability. Since New Hampshire does not have a state income tax on wages and its tax framework is independent of federal adjusted gross income for wage purposes, the federal IRC § 225 deduction does not "flow through" or generate a corresponding tax benefit at the state level. Employees in New Hampshire will see the federal tax savings, but no state tax adjustment will occur due to this deduction.
