Tax Overview: South Dakota
South Dakota does not levy a state individual income tax. State tax issues are more commonly tied to business taxes including sales/use tax and excise taxes. Individual residents primarily face federal tax obligations, and the IRS maintains full collection authority regardless of South Dakota's lack of state income tax.
