Connecticut

Connecticut’s Social Security income tax might range from 3% to 6.99%. It all depends on the AGI and filing status, as retirees have the option to deduct the majority of their benefit income.

To be more specific, beneficiaries won’t have to pay state taxes on their benefits, as long as their AGI is less than $75,000 (for single filers), and $100,000 (for those who are married and filed jointly). Above the thresholds mentioned above, 75% of Social Security payments are completely tax-exempt.

Kansas

In Kansas, there’s no difference between Social Security benefits and other forms of income, so they’re all taxed the same, and the tax rate ranges from 3.1% to 5.7%. Even so, retirees with an AGI of more than $75,000 are exempt from paying state taxes on their Social Security income, no matter their filing status.

    No it is that the politicians and lobbyist make so much income they think all the lower level job people include retiree have the same amount of disposable income so they take care of their life style and the hell with those who pay their salaries. So get rid of the many lobbyist and their pushing agenda paying politicians and the politicians might just working for the tax payer again. know what a dollar will by when you only have a dollar.

    Democrats love to TAX productive Americans so they can BUY the votes of unproductive people with handouts. The Hasidic n NY have 8 and more children and SCAM every government program by not being married by the state (only married by their rabbi) so they can claim to be ‘unwed mothers’. The whore politicians say nothing because they want their ‘block vote’.

    New Mexico exempts $35K of military retirement benefits from state income tax. Also, any portion of Social Security benefits taxed by the federal government, is exempt from state income tax. If you live to be 100years old, you are also exempt from all state income taxes!
