Current source-backed tax context for Montana and North Harlem Colony.

Component Summary Effective Coverage Sources
MT state individual income tax Montana taxes ordinary income on a two-band schedule — 4.7% up to $20,500 single or married filing separately, $41,000 married filing jointly, and $30,750 head of household for tax year 2024, then 5.9% above, with those breakpoints rising to $21,100, $42,200 and $31,700 for 2025. Montana grants no standard deduction and no personal exemption of its own: SB 399 repealed both, and Form 2 line 2 instead subtracts the FEDERAL standard deduction ($14,600 / $29,200 / $21,900 for 2024; $15,750 / $31,500 / $23,625 for 2025), which is why the estimate cites IRS sources alongside Montana's. The calculator applies the refundable Montana earned income tax credit at 10% of the federal credit — the 20% in the current statute text takes effect in tax year 2026 under House Bill 337, not in either year modeled here — and discloses what it cannot model, headed by the five conditions its federal-deduction base assumes: no itemizing, no qualified tips, no qualified overtime, no qualified passenger-vehicle-loan interest, and nobody aged 65 or over. Each of those, if untrue, means the estimate OVERSTATES Montana tax rather than understating it. Net long-term capital gains ride a separate 3.0%/4.1% schedule the wage-only estimate does not model. No Montana county, city, town or school district levies an income tax: MCA § 7-1-112 withholds the power to tax income from self-governing local governments unless it is specifically delegated, and the one delegation the Code names — the resort tax of MCA §§ 7-6-1502 and 7-6-1503 — reaches only goods and services. General-power counties and municipalities are confined to property levies, and school funding runs on mills. Tax years 2024 and 2025.
