Does Tennessee have state income tax on wages?

I’m researching does Tennessee have state income tax and found that Tennessee does not tax wages for most residents. However, there were certain taxes on investment income in the past. I’m wondering if there are any current state taxes that residents should be aware of.

No, there is no state income tax on incomes, salaries, and wages in Tennessee. It is among the limited number of states in the U.S. that do not have an individual income tax that is based on broadlines. It is important to remember, though, that you still owe federal income taxes provided that you are required to file according to standard IRS requirements.

No. Tennessee does not tax wages or salaries. Residents only pay federal income tax. The state mainly collects revenue through sales, property, and business taxes instead of personal income tax.
