New Hampshire Quarterly Taxes for Freelancers

New Hampshire has no income tax on wages or salaries, making it one of nine states where workers keep their full earnings at the state level. New Hampshire previously taxed interest and dividend income (the "Interest and Dividends Tax"), but that tax was fully eliminated as of January 1, 2025. New Hampshire also has no statewide sales tax. The state is funded primarily through property taxes — which are among the highest in the nation on a per-capita basis — and various other fees. No New Hampshire city charges a local income tax. For workers commuting from Massachusetts into New Hampshire, the Massachusetts-New Hampshire border is a notable tax boundary: New Hampshire workers pay no state income tax while Massachusetts workers pay 5%.
