Yes, this is one of the states that still tax Social Security benefits, but this doesn’t apply to everyone. Again, if you meet some specific criteria, you can get more out of your benefit. This is designed in a way that gives an advantage to those with lower or moderate incomes, and higher earners will still need to pay taxes on some of their Social Security income.
Here are the income thresholds for 2026: If you are married and file jointly with your partner, you get full tax exemption if the adjusted gross income (AGI) is $65,000 or less. If you are single or married but you file separately, the AGI needs to be $50,000 or less. You can also get a partial exemption if you are single filing and have an AGI of up to $59,999, while joint filers qualify with an AGI of up to $74,999.
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.
Agree with Joanne
