Which States Tax Social Security Benefits in 2025?

Connecticut

The Nutmeg State tries its best to help retirees with lower incomes, and in the same fashion as the above-presented states, it has some clear guidelines about your adjusted gross income (AGI) and filing status that will determine if you get a tax reduction or not.

What is even better about Connecticut is that it will never tax more than 25% of your Social Security benefits, and this applies to those who have a higher adjusted gross income than the thresholds. This restriction gives a little relief as compared to full taxes, lowering the financial burden on higher-income seniors.

But let’s see what the thresholds are. For those married and filing jointly or for those who are the head of the house, Social Security benefits will not be taxed if AGI is below $100,000. If you are single or married and filing separately, Social Security benefits are fully exempt from state taxes if AGI is under $75,000.

    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.
