No material change for 2026: Alaska still has no individual income tax, no state income tax return for individuals, and no statewide sales tax. The Permanent Fund Dividend remains federally taxable and untaxed by the state. Source: Tax Foundation, State Individual Income Tax Rates and Brackets 2026; Alaska Department of Revenue.
The state-specific rules behind the numbers above — the things a generic calculator gets wrong about Alaska.
Alaska has no individual income tax at all: no brackets, no standard deduction, no withholding from your paycheck, and no state income tax return for individuals to file. Alaska repealed its personal income tax in 1980 after oil revenue began flowing, and repeated proposals to bring one back have never been enacted. Your Alaska paycheck is reduced only by federal income tax and FICA (Social Security and Medicare).

Alaska pays an annual Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) to qualifying residents from the Alaska Permanent Fund's oil-wealth earnings. Because Alaska has no income tax, the state takes none of it — but the IRS treats the PFD as taxable income, so it belongs on your federal return (reported on a 1099-MISC) even though there is no state return to report it on. You must apply for the PFD each year during the January–March application window and meet the residency requirements.

Alaska is one of the few states with no statewide sales tax. That does not mean tax-free shopping everywhere: many municipalities and boroughs levy their own local sales taxes, and rates and taxable items vary by community — Juneau, for example, levies a city sales tax while Anchorage levies none. Where you live and shop inside Alaska changes your local tax bill far more than in states with a uniform state rate.

No local income taxes anywhere in Alaska. Many municipalities and boroughs levy local sales taxes (rates and bases vary by community; Anchorage levies no general sales tax, Juneau does), and some localities levy local property, alcohol, tobacco and hotel taxes.
