Missouri

Even if Missouri’s Social Security income tax rate could be as high as 5.4%, the range could also go as low as 0%. Single filers and couples who file together and are 62 years and older with an AGI of less than $85,000 and $100,000, might be able to completely deduct their Social Security benefits. Even more, those who are in a higher income bracket might still qualify for a partial deduction.

Montana

In this state, the Social Security income tax rate usually ranges from 1% to 6.75%. The same as the federal tax, retirees with an AGI smaller than $25,000 (for single filers) and $32,000 (for married couples) won’t be subject to any tax on their Social Security benefits.

Of course, this isn’t the case for residents in higher income brackets. Montana normally uses a completely different method than the federal government when it comes to calculating the total amount that a citizen has to pay.

    We moved from Massachusetts to North Carolina about 20 years ago. NC taxed my husbands pension. I had been on disability in MA, I lost it when I moved to NC. I now live in PA and pension is not taxed but I never got my disability back. We lost a lot of money. NO state should tax someone’s pension or SS or disability.
