My residence is Kentucky but I attend college in Texas and earn money in Texas, why is my Kentucky tax due so high?

Individual Income Tax is due on all income earned by Kentucky residents, and all income earned by nonresidents from Kentucky sources. Therefore, your Texas earnings are subject to Kentucky state income tax.

Kentucky's individual income tax law is based on the Internal Revenue Code in effect as of December 31, 2022. The tax rate is four and one-half (4.5) percent. See here for more information from the Kentucky Department of Revenue.
