South Dakota Capital Gains Tax Overview

South Dakota does not levy a state income tax on wages or capital gains, so residents only pay federal capital gains tax (and potentially the 3.8% NIIT). This can result in significant tax savings compared to states with high income tax rates like California or New York.

Your capital gains will still be subject to federal long-term rates of 0%, 15%, or 20% depending on your total taxable income and filing status, plus the 3.8% Net Investment Income Tax if your income exceeds the NIIT threshold.
