Mississippi 2026: First $10,000 of taxable income is exempt, then 4% for 2026 (HB 1, 2025 continues cuts toward 3% by 2030). The $10,000 zero bracket is applied once per return here for all statuses. HoH maps to Mississippi's Head of Family status. Federal tax is 2026 withholding (IRS Pub. 15-T), not your final tax bill.
