West Virginia does not offer a state standard deduction in 2026. Instead of a flat deduction, West Virginia taxes income under its own rules (often a flat rate or personal-exemption system), so state taxable income is calculated differently than the federal standard-deduction approach.
West Virginia does not use a federal-style standard deduction for 2026. Depending on the state, income may be taxed at a flat rate with no deduction, or reduced through personal exemptions or credits instead.
