Utah taxes Social Security benefits, following federal income rules. Utah provides a non-refundable retirement tax credit (up to $450 for single, $900 for married) that phases out at higher incomes. Utah has a flat income tax rate of 4.65%. Most Utah investors should note that the majority of US states tax capital gains as ordinary income at regular state income tax rates. Federal long-term capital gains tax rates (0%, 15%, or 20%) apply based on your total taxable income.
