South Dakota

If you’re fond of wide open spaces, walks through nature, and being able to reconnect with mother earth, then South Dakota may just be the state for your golden years. To add to the perks, they also do not have taxes on personal income, which means that all your retirement income (be it that comes from an IRA, pension, or 401(K)) will not be taxed. This makes this quaint state the perfect place where you can make the most of your retirement savings.

What’s more, there is also no estate or inheritance tax, so you do not have to worry about things like that either. Like other states that have no income tax, because if you are taking social security benefits as well, those are also not going to be taxed.

    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!

    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.

    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.
