Montana 2026: HB 337 (2025) brackets and 5.65% top rate for 2026 (5.4% and wider brackets in 2027); MFS uses the single schedule. Montana starts from federal taxable income, so the standard deduction is the 2026 federal amount. Separate lower capital-gains rates and the Montana EITC are not modelled. Federal tax is 2026 withholding (IRS Pub. 15-T), not your final tax bill.
