What to know about taxes in Mississippi
Mississippi taxes income above an exempt amount at a flat rate that is being phased down.
Mississippi residents file a state return alongside the federal one, and people who move in or out during the year, or earn income across state lines, often need part-year or nonresident returns. We prepare federal and Mississippi returns together so nothing is taxed twice.
