chosen.content: Yes, unless you qualify for a tax exemption. State income taxes are imposed by state governments on residents and non-residents alike on any income earned within that state. This includes wages, interest, capital gains, dividends and pensions. Some states offer exemptions and tax credit for certain types of income or for certain income levels. You should check with the state department of revenue to see if you qualify for an exemption or credit.

rejected.content: It depends on where you live. If you live in a state that has an income tax, you will likely be required to pay state income taxes on your income. However, some states have tax codes that provide certain exemptions and deductions, which may mean that you pay less than the maximum state income tax rate. To be certain about what your state's tax laws entail, it is best to consult a tax professional.
