West Virginia
This is one of the states that is slowly but surely phasing out its state taxes on Social Security benefits, which makes it one of the states that will implement full exemption in the near future.
In 2024, West Virginia permits retirees to deduct 35% of their Social Security payments from their adjusted gross income (AGI). In 2025, this deduction will be increased to 65%, considerably lowering the taxable amount of Social Security income. By 2026, seniors will be allowed to deduct 100% of their Social Security income from their AGI, thus exempting them from state taxes.
This is a good approach that gradually lifts the financial burden retirees have to face. The goal is to eventually eliminate state taxes on Social Security benefits altogether, and as you can see, this will happen in the near future.

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
