Rhode Island

If you are living here and you meet certain age and income requirements, congratulations, because the state of Rhode Island offers some significant tax benefits for qualifying retirees.

For example, if you have reached full retirement age, as defined by the Social Security Administration, and your retirement income falls below some thresholds, you will get your tax burden reduced following the next set of rules.

Married Filing Jointly: The Social Security benefits are fully exempt for couples with an adjusted gross income (AGI) of less than $126,250. In case you are single or fall under other filing statuses, the exemption applies to retirees with a federal AGI of less than $101,000.

    All states should drop SS taxes as we paid those taxes including Federal taxes. SS should not be taxed period.

    I agree , SS benefits should not be taxed. We earned this when we were working . This is the main reason why we get taxed while working so that we have money to draw from when we retire and no longer able to work . That money comes from us who got taxed when we were working . If I’m not mistaken , I’ve heard in the news that Trump is recommending this . I got excited when I heard this .I really hope it will go thru.
