How Mississippi taxable income is figured
The 2026 Mississippi standard deduction is $2,300 for single filers, $4,600 for married filing jointly and $3,400 for head of household. A personal exemption of $6,000 (single), $12,000 (married filing jointly) or $8,000 (head of household) comes off before the rate applies. Dependents aren't included. Pre-tax 401(k), health and HSA deductions are assumed to reduce Mississippi wages the same way they reduce federal wages.
