#9 Vermont
Vermont was one of the states that followed federal rules when it came to taxing social security benefits, matching the taxable portion at the federal level. However, they have since adopted some exemptions depending on your status as a retiree. If you file your taxes alone with an income reaching below $25,000, then your income coming from social benefits will not be taxed at all.
Likewise, the exemption for any other status is for sums below $32,000. What’s more, those with higher incomes from benefits are taxed in incremental stages, with no notable exceptions for AGIs, either single over $55,000 or joint or married status filing over $70,000.
We all have expectations when it comes to how much we are going to receive in Social Security benefits, but not everyone thinks about the potential mistakes you could make! Make sure you don’t accidentally make these mistakes that could cost you a fortune!
I pay state taxes in Oregon and Massachusetts. Do they ask for Social Security Taxes?
You missed Utah.
Utah provides a credit to assist with SS taxation in Utah contact a tax consultant.
It’s past time that the government unconditionally eliminates Federal Tax on seniors Social Security benefits.
Surviving spouse should be able to retain their Social Security benefits and their deceased spouse Social Security benefits. It’s absolutely cruel that the surviving spouse loses something close to 50% of their income when a spouse dies.
An additional 15% increase to Social Security income in addition to the COLA to make up for the shortfalls in the COLA over the past 4 decades.
I live in NJ is that taxed
Does Minnesota tax social security?
Minnesota taxes SS and it isn’t fair
Is Pennsylvania one of the states that is going to stop taxing social security?

As it is we don’t make much please don’t tax the poor to the grave if you make a little more than social security !
you forgot New York

criminals.
We should not pay tax on our ss, and we should not have to pay for medicare when we retire !

I am too, but that doesnt say much. There is a lot of change due the people.
Minnesota taxes ss

Does Tennessee tax income?
It would be nice if they reduced the property tax by at least 50 % when you reach 65 YO. Then NO property tax when you reach 70 YO.
We have worked our butts off for all those years and we earned that tax break and we are being replaced on a daily basis so there is no shortage of tax dollars for the city, state to squander on useless stuff. Since the days of the three pointed hats Govts have learned they can tax anything they want when they want and we pay it.
What about New York versus South Carolina?
Pennsylvania taxes our social security!! They should not tax us!!
I live in a state that’s as bad as sink hole maybe worse a state this 94 year old has seen it go from a beautiful poppy growing state to a dirty old out house. Hope you young one know what I mean its a little house out back because we did not have a bathroom in doors. People that run this state that was elected I believe the only good they’re good at is when they eat their lunch. Our taxes are the highest our gas tax last I heard is 52 cents a gallon and states income tax 13 percent city tax 9 percent water bill tax it you add all the. Taxes if I spend 1 dollar I may have 20 cents for my self. If you plan to move here think twice unless you enjoy miseries.
I forgot California
