How District of Columbia taxes your paycheck
District of Columbia has a progressive income tax from 4% to 10.75%. Your employer withholds it from every check using the state's 2026 withholding formula and your D-4.
For 2026 the standard deduction is $16,100 for single filers and $32,200 for married couples filing jointly.
District of Columbia has reciprocal agreements with ALL nonresidents: DC cannot tax wages of nonresidents (they file Form D-4A with the employer; any DC tax withheld is refunded via D-40B).
