Alaska
It may not be the first place your mind goes to when you are thinking about moving from your home state for your golden years, but the Last Frontier state is not one to write off very easily. Not only are they joining most states in the effort of eliminating the social security benefits tax (as they do not impose this one), but they are also making sure you are keeping all your retirement income with no intervention at a state level.
Alaska does not have an income tax, and this includes any income you may be getting from pensions, IRAs, or 401(k) plans. What’s more, they do not have any inheritance or estate taxes! It may not be the warmest place in the United States, but being one of the states that have so few taxes when it comes to retirees’ incomes, we think you should warm up to it.
So much more needs to be considered when deciding where to retire. I have noticed a huge disparity in property taxes from state to state & sometimes towns or counties within the state. Maybe you’re not being taxed on retirement income but would pay a premium on property taxes & medical expenses etc. For example, Florida has no income tax but their property taxes are quite high as are condo dues if you’re living in an HOA. Do your research!
excellent statement !
So, if the only income you’ve only received in 2022 was income for SNAP food services, must that be an actual income?
This would be a good article if a person did not have to click through page after page. This all could have fit on one page.
Agree with Jim
These ads are a drag….
Agreed
Wow…Texas?

What about Kansas?
I thought Florida was one of the states that didn’t tax seniors
Good to know.
Well you are wrong. Florida texes is high.
I live in California and I do not pay taxes on my social security. Why wasn’t it included in this article?
True, CA does not tax social security retirement benefits, but does tax pensions, 401s and IRAs as high as 13%. Also, CA taxes military retirement income. CA has very high real property taxes too. I lived in CA 22 years, but left in 2018 when I retired.
I live in Tennessee – we have no state tax on income, social security or otherwise?
