5. West Virginia: Accelerating Relief for Fixed-Income Seniors
West Virginia completed a phased elimination of state income taxes on Social Security benefits. Building on this momentum, state legislators have introduced proposals to broaden exemptions for public employee pensions.
These policy shifts aim to make the Mountain State an affordable haven for regional retirees. Targeted subtractions already protect many police, firefighter, and military retirement annuities.
Broader bills under review would extend similar protections to private sector retirees. Check filing guidelines with the West Virginia State Tax Division as new provisions clear the legislature.
