42A003 (TCF)(12-2023) 2024 KENTUCKY WITHHOLDING TAX FORMULA 2024 Kentucky Standard Deduction: $3,160 2024 Kentucky Tax Rate: 4% of taxable income Formula: Wages for the pay period multiplied by the number of annual pay periods equals annual wages. Annual wages minus the Kentucky standard deduction equals annual Kentucky wages. Compute tax on wages using the 4% Kentucky flat tax rate to determine gross annual Kentucky tax. Divide the gross annual Kentucky tax by the number of annual pay periods to determine the Kentucky withholding tax for the pay period. 2024 Examples: Payroll Frequency: monthly Wages: $3,020 1. Compute annual wages: $3,020 x 12 = $36,240 2. Compute Kentucky taxable wages: $36,240 - $3,160 = $33,080 3. Compute gross annual Kentucky tax: $33,080 x 4% flat tax rate = $1,323.20 4. Compute Kentucky withholding tax for tax period: $1,323.20 ÷ 12 = $110.27 (monthly withholding) Payroll Frequency: bi-weekly Wages: $1,500 1. Compute annual wages: $1,500 x 26 = $39,000 2. Compute Kentucky taxable wages: $39,000 - $3,160 = $35,840 3. Compute gross annual Kentucky tax: $35,840 x 4% flat tax rate = $1,433.60 4. Compute Kentucky withholding tax for tax period: $1,433.60 ÷ 26 = $55.14 (bi-weekly withholding) NOTE: The Department of Revenue annually adjusts the standard deduction in accordance with KRS 141.081(2)(a). Employers that use the formula to compute the amount of withholding may use the standard deduction for the current year.

About the Individual Income Tax
The IRS and most states collect a personal income tax, which is paid throughout the year via tax withholding or estimated income tax payments.
Most taxpayers are required to file a yearly income tax return in April to both the Internal Revenue Service and their state's revenue department, which will result in either a tax refund of excess withheld income or a tax payment if the withholding does not cover the taxpayer's entire liability. Every taxpayer's situation is different - please consult a CPA or licensed tax preparer to ensure that you are filing the correct tax forms!
