As the tax-filing deadline nears, millions of Americans are expected to claim new federal income tax breaks for tips and overtime wages available for the first time under a wide-ranging tax law enacted by President Donald Trump.

But many people won’t get those same deductions when they fill out their state income tax forms. That is because it is up to each state to decide whether to match federal tax changes, and many have decided not to do so.

In states that don’t conform to the federal tax changes, workers who receive a federal tax deduction for tips or overtime still will owe state taxes on those earnings.

The tax-filing deadline is Wednesday for the federal government and most states. Here is what to know about state income tax rates and deductions:

41 states tax wages and salaries

In most states, individuals must fill out two separate tax forms. First, the federal income tax form. Then a state income tax form. The order matters, because most states use figures from the federal tax form as the starting point for their state tax calculations.

No income tax is levied in eight states — Alaska, Florida, New Hampshire, Nevada, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas and Wyoming. Washington state taxes income from capital gains but not wages and salaries. Missouri taxes income from wages and salaries but not capital gains.

Most states still tax tips and overtime wages

Only about a half-dozen states are mirroring Trump’s law by offering tax breaks on tips and overtime wages or for loan interest on new vehicles assembled in the U.S.

All three of those tax deductions are available to state income taxpayers in Idaho, Iowa, Montana, North Dakota and Oregon. Colorado offers the tips and auto loan deductions but not the overtime tax break. Alabama offers only the auto loan deduction.

Laws in several states automatically apply federal tax changes to state income taxes unless the governor and lawmakers opt out — like Colorado officials did on the overtime tax deduction. But in most states, the tax breaks are available only if officials updated their state laws, like they did in Idaho.

Arizona is an oddity on tax deductions

State income tax forms in Arizona list tax deductions for tips, overtime, auto loans and older residents based on a November executive order from Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs. She assumed the Republican-led Legislature would later pass a bill putting the tax breaks into state law.

But Arizona law remains unchanged. Hobbs vetoed two tax-break bills because she objected to provisions that also would have adopted Trump’s corporate tax breaks. And lawmakers have not passed a third attempt.

“It’s an extraordinarily unusual situation,” said Adam Chodorow, a law professor at Arizona State University who specializes in tax law.

A man has been charged with murder after a 21-year-old was fatally stabbed in north London.

Finbar Sullivan died on Tuesday, 7 April after the alleged attack in Primrose Hill.

On Sunday, Oliuwadamilola Ogunyankinnu, 27, was charged with murder.

A spokesperson for Metropolitan Police said the 27-year-old, who was arrested on Friday, will appear at Stratford Magistrates’ Court on Monday.

A 25-year-old man arrested on suspicion of assisting an offender has been released with no further action, police said.

Mr Sullivan was a filmmaking student at the London Screen Academy and produced music videos for drill rap artists under the name Sully Shot It, according to reports.

Speaking to the Daily Mail, his father Christopher Sullivan said his son “can never be replaced”.

“I’m so broken-hearted, I can’t believe it,” he said. “He was the most beautiful, lovely, outgoing, loving boy. He was just a really lovely person.”

Mr Sullivan said his son had ambitions to follow in the footsteps of his grandfather, cameraman Michael Seresin, who worked on Harry Potter And The Prisoner Of Azkaban and Rambo III.

Officers are urging anyone who may have relevant information to upload it to the Met’s online major incident portal or to call 101 and quote reference 6448/07Apr.

Donald Trump has ordered a blockade on the Strait of Hormuz after peace talks with Iran broke down.

The President said his warships will immediately stop ships entering or leaving the pinchpoint he had demanded be opened after Iran threatened to lay sea mines and destroy advancing US warships.

Iran had released footage warning the USS Michael Murphy (DDG 112) and USS Frank E. Peterson (DDG 121), both Arleigh Burke-class destroyers, attempting to transit the strategic waterway. Iran claimed they were intercepted and forced to retreat by Iranian naval forces.

In a post on his Truth Social platform, Trump wrote: ‘Effective immediately, the United States Navy, the Finest in the World, will begin the process of BLOCKADING any and all Ships trying to enter, or leave, the Strait of Hormuz.

‘At some point, we will reach an “ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO IN, ALL BEING ALLOWED TO GO OUT” basis, but Iran has not allowed that to happen by merely saying, “There may be a mine out there somewhere,” that nobody knows about but them. THIS IS WORLD EXTORTION, and Leaders of Countries, especially the United States of America, will never be extorted.

‘I have also instructed our Navy to seek and interdict every vessel in International Waters that has paid a toll to Iran. No one who pays an illegal toll will have safe passage on the high seas.

‘We will also begin destroying the mines the Iranians laid in the Straits. Any Iranian who fires at us, or at peaceful vessels, will be BLOWN TO HELL!’

Pep Guardiola’s side know victory will move them to within six points of Arsenal ahead of their showdown with the Gunners at the Etihad next weekend. That Arsenal defeat yesterday on a nervy afternoon at Emirates Stadium has left the door ajar City, who have two games in hand as they bid to hunt down the leaders.

Cameron Young is in the mix to win the 2026 Masters after flying up the leaderboard with his round on Saturday

Cameron Young has established himself a serious contender for the Masters as the final round gets under way.

The American carded a seven-under-par 65 on Saturday to draw level with defending champion Rory McIlroy ahead of Sunday’s action. Young, 28, finds himself on the cusp of a first career major following encouragement from his wife to make changes away from the course.

He already boasts top-four finishes across all four majors, though he’s waiting for that breakthrough win. The 28-year-old’s form on the PGA Tour saw him attract interest from LIV Golf with his performances but he has thus far opted to remain on the PGA Tour.

Reflecting on his third round, he said: “You’re going to hit a bad shot or two,” said the Florida-based professional. The ability to just swallow it and move on and go hit your next shot, the emotions of it, the frustration, whatever it may be, I think this place really punishes you if you play angry or impatient.

“When something goes wrong, those are the things that you kind of naturally want to be. So it’s fighting those natural inclinations toward those feelings and not letting it affect your decision-making, your execution for another shot.”

As Young steps out onto Augusta National on Sunday aiming to improve on a career-best finish of seventh on the famous course, there will be nowhere to hide. Here’s a little more about the journey that has brought him to this moment.

Cameron Young’s net worth

While he may still be awaiting his first victory at a major, Young has nonetheless enjoyed a number of seven-figure scores. This has left his net worth at an estimated $17million (£12.6m) at the close of the 2025 PGA Tour season.

That number appears to have increased since, courtesy of his triumph at the Players Championship in March. He finished one stroke ahead of Matt Fitzpatrick at TPC Sawgrass to claim the $4.5m first prize.

The Players represented only his second victory on the PGA Tour, following a $1.76m haul at the Wyndham Championship in 2025. He also collected just under $1.5m for his runner-up finish at the Open in 2022, when Cameron Smith pipped him to the title, along with $1.02m after tying for third at the PGA Championship earlier that same year.

Wife and children

Young and his wife Kelsey Dalition grew up together in New York state and tied the knot in 2021. They have three children together, with their eldest – a son named Henry – turning four this year.

Those who followed the golfer at the outset of his career will now he’s rarely seen without a thick beard. However, he briefly opted for an almost clean-shaven look, revealing that Kelsey was the inspiration behind the change.

“Honestly, my wife just kind of said, why don’t you shave… I haven’t been clean‐shaven probably since our first son was born,” he said after unveiling the new look at the 2023 PGA Championship. It failed to bring him any luck, however — Young missed the cut at that tournament and allowed his facial hair to grow back before securing a top-10 finish at that year’s Open at Royal Liverpool.

Saying no to LIV Golf

Young was by no means the only big name courted by LIV Golf as the Saudi-backed competition looked to make a splash. He chose to remain on the PGA Tour but conceded it was far from a straightforward decision when the approach came in 2022.

“Frankly, I have decided to stay,” he said at the time. “So, I don’t know, it’s a really difficult situation because it’s not really anything anyone wanted to happen.

“I think it wasn’t meant to be this hostile between the two. Frankly, throughout the whole process with [LIV], I was very interested. I think they have a bunch of good ideas and are doing some cool stuff.

“With some of the changes coming [to the PGA Tour], that’s kind of what really helped me decide to kind of stay and pursue those goals that I have for myself like making a Presidents Cup team and a Ryder Cup team and winning a major when all of that is just uncertain if you go. It’s a tough place for me because, you know, I’m very young and there are a lot of factors.”

Young ticked off two of those three aims, playing at the Presidents Cup in 2022 as the United States claimed victory before going on to make his Ryder Cup debut in 2025. The one thing that has eluded him is a major title, though he has the opportunity to rectify that on Sunday.

As one beloved period drama comes to an end, fans have been urged to binge another Jane Austen adaptation.

Fans of The Other Bennet Sister will be left devastated as the beloved period drama comes to an end tonight, but another Jane Austen adaptation is free to stream on BBC iPlayer.

Four-part BBC drama Emma first aired in 2009, starring Romola Garai as the titular character.

The series is based on Austen’s 1815 novel Emma, and portrays the heroine as a wealthy, clever, independent woman in the 19th century, who boasts as a matchmaker.

As she meddles in the love lives of those around her, she begins to realise her own possible romantic spark with her life-long friend and mentor, Mr Knightley.

Despite her own defiant streak and intentions to never marry, the protagonist ends up falling for him.

Emma, which was also adapted into a 2020 film starring Anya Taylor-Joy and Mia Goth, features Jonny Lee Miller as Mr Knightley in the BBC drama.

Michael Gambon plays Mr Woodhouse, and Louise Dylan stars as Harriet Smith, alongside Jodhi May, Robert Bathurst, Rupert Evans and Laura Pyper.

The series has been hailed a “heart-warming masterpiece” by one fan, who wrote: “Nobody can outdo [the BBC] when it comes to English classics.” They went on: “I did not expect this series would move me so much.”

Another said: “Definitely the best Emma I’ve ever seen! The casting was perfect; it is a must watch that goes on the shelf with the other greats, Pride and Prejudice, Wives and Daughters etc. Emma was my favourite book out of all Jane Austens works and this film really does it credit!”

Someone else wrote: “The most perfect adaptation of Emma!,” while someone else shared: “This BBC adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Emma” is a joy to watch from beginning to end. It is a fresh, delightful and more modern interpretation of the classic, but still maintaining a great deal of fidelity to the novel.”

Several others called it a “gem”, while one person wrote: “This is perhaps the best adaptation of a Jane Austen novel that I have seen put to screen.”

Discussing taking on the role in a 2013 interview, Romola reflected on the literary work, saying: “I’ve always found it quite disturbing that Emma is a character that most critics, predominantly the literary canon as controlled by 19th century men, have struggled with.

“For me it’s completely obvious why that is and it’s nothing to do with her personality, it’s because she’s rich and because she doesn’t have to get married.”

She went on: “I actually had to sit on a lot of what I thought about Emma to allow myself to be properly directed and I had to pretend in the audition that I didn’t have lots of ideas that didn’t correlate with the director.

“It’s something I’ve had to learn the hard way – that you don’t always get the job by telling the director in the audition that you have very strong ideas about how it should be played!”

Emma is available to watch on BBC iPlayer

Viktor Gyokeres’ comment about the Emirates pitch has been labelled ‘ridiculous’ and ‘weak’ after Arsenal lost at home to Bournemouth on Saturday.

The Cherries seriously damaged the Gunners’ title chances by picking up a 2-1 win in north London, giving Manchester City renewed hope of reeling in the leaders.

Arsenal remain top of the Premier League table and nine points ahead of City, but Pep Guardiola’s men have two games in hand and host the leaders next weekend.

Mikel Arteta’s side was very underwhelming in defeat to Bournemouth and Gyokeres offered a strange reason for the loss straight after the final whistle.

‘We had some chances in the end,’ Gyokeres, who scored Arsenal’s goal from the penalty spot, told BBC Sport. ‘The pitch was a bit dry there to be honest so that didn’t help.’

‘But like I said we all need to do better and take our chances.’

Former Chelsea midfielder Craig Burley was not impressed, pointing out that the home team is able to water the pitch, and felt Gyokeres’ comment made Arsenal look weak.

‘It is a ridiculous comment to make,’ Burley said on ESPN. ‘Sometimes the pitch is a little bit dry, but is it dry for both teams?

‘Sometimes you might want a pitch that’s a bit skiddier, but Arsenal control that, they’re the home side. If that’s what Arteta wants and Gyokeres and Declan Rice and [Martin] Zubimendi and [Noni] Madueke, all these players that are fit and available. Then the groundsman waters the pitch before the game and he waters it at half-time and they get a pitch that’s a little bit more fiery.

‘When you’re at home and you’re in control of that, there’s no point in retrospect making an excuse about it.

‘It makes you look weak and it makes you look like you’re doing what you’re doing, looking for excuses.’

Gyokeres did accept that Arsenal underperformed on Saturday, but insisted they still believe they will land silverware this season and are looking forward to the next challenge, which comes at home against Sporting in the Champions League on Wednesday.

‘Of course it hurts. Luckily we have a good game again on Wednesday to play and another one at the weekend. We have a lot to look forward to,’ said the Swedish striker.

‘We go into every game with the mindset we want to win the game and play at our best.

‘We always have that belief. We always want to win the games. We wanted to win this game. We played against good opposition and they won today.

‘They’re good on the counter-attacks. They have good players and did some good combinations. But we need to do better.’
