Retirement Income Coming In? These 7 Reliable States WON’T Tax You

State With No Retirement Income: Washington

  • Percent of 65 and older population: 12.8%
  • Income Tax Range: None
  • Social Security: None
  • Inheritance and Estate Taxes: No inheritance tax
  • Median rent per month: $1,250
  • Utilities: $120
  • Meal at average restaurant: $12

If you’re in love with a good cup o’ Joe, you should consider retiring in this state. But if you’re not impressed by the coffee, maybe you’ll love the fact that the Evergreen State has NO retirement income tax.

That means that none of your 401(k), IRA, or pension income will take a state tax hit. A study found that Spokane is one of the most budget-friendly places to retire in Washington, but it’s also one of the 50 most low-cost places to retire in the country.

Also, it has the highest percentage of adults 65 years and older among the three cities surveyed in Washington. This city in eastern Washington can offer more cost-effective living costs for retirees than the state’s two other most prominent cities.

The average monthly rent and cost of utilities are more affordable here than in Seattle and Tacoma.

    You have to click on each page number and you’ll be taken to the next. It’s not a huge headline, but the names are there. You read, click on the next number and so on.

    Indiana does NOT tax SS benefits and neither does the Federal government IF that is your ONLY source of income. If you are employed in the state of Indiana, then you will be taxed on your employment income by both state and Federal tax.

    Was Joe Biden the worst U.S. President in American History? Who leaves their home without a beg over their head who voted for Biden?

    The EPA didn’t destroy anything. “Fair Market” conditions is what did US Steel in. We cannot compete with the Chinese steel on the open market. When you don’t give a crap about your employee’s lives and safety, you can have much lower overhead. You people who voted for the “businessmen” to run our democracy, are about to find out EXACTLY how little we all mean to a bunch of greedy f*cks like Musk, Bezos, etc. CONGRATS!
