How Utah taxable income is figured
Utah has no standard deduction. Instead of a deduction, Utah gives a taxpayer tax credit of 6% of your federal standard deduction. The credit shrinks by 1.3% of income over $18,696 (single), $28,045 (head of household) or $37,392 (married filing jointly). Pre-tax 401(k), health and HSA deductions are assumed to reduce Utah wages the same way they reduce federal wages.
