For retirees, every single cent counts, and that’s why we can all agree that when it comes to state taxes, no one looks forward to that. Even if you shouldn’t decide on your retirement location solely depending on taxes, they are highly important to take into consideration, especially if you plan on living in a state for the first time in your life.
States get tax revenue from multiple sources. For example, some states, like Alaska, South Dakota, and Wyoming, have plenty of natural resources to rely on mineral rights sales and keep the other taxes on the low, even skipping income taxes altogether.
This is to a certain extent exactly what retirees want, right? For instance, Alaska doesn’t impose any taxes on income, estates, or retirement benefits. Residents are paid by the state for their share of oil riches. Last year, they got $3,284/citizen.
Why can’t Virginia be one of the; NO TAX STATE!!! Is it because it’s so close to D.C.???
Well arkansas and irs taxed the hell out of my 401k…that’s a dmn shame we think that we are saving up for retirement and have nothing more when we retire plus social security don’t want to give us nothing want us too work until we are 70 to get full money we have worked for all our lives 🙄😬😬the government is a joke but the rich gets everything and poor gets nothing….and they do all the damn work…whyyyyy
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.
