You need to factor in a lot of things, from how close or far it is from your family to climate, amenities and most importantly taxes. Some states offer certain deductions on some of your retirement income while others do not levy income taxes at all, which means you get to keep your entire retirement income.

The following 26 states either have no income tax or exempt certain forms of retirement income, including Social Security benefits, according to a report issued by the Tax Foundation. First, we’ve listed the states that, starting with 2020, provide a full exemption of the Social Security benefits from taxation from all residents’ income taxes and continued with the states that levy no income tax whatsoever.

  1. Tennessee has no state income tax. Al Gore had nothing to do with it. In fact when Gore ran for President he lost his home box, home county, former congressional district and home state. Bush won in a landslide.

    Why is it so hard to print an article on one page? Why must we have to follow a 12 page report on this page wait here comes the next page. N now I’m lost where did the article go?

    I work all my life and for health reasons I am still working and now because I am working full time S a. Addiction Counselor which I love helping people I have to pay on my social security. I work to make enough money to pay for everything to live without stress

  4. That’s not true about Pennsylvania. I just filed my taxes and there’s a limit that you’re allowed to earn yearly before you have to pay tax on Social Security. I think that amount is $25,000.

  5. I live in Tennessee, there is no state Income tax here. However the good old Democrats have taken care of things and as much as 85% of my social security has be subject to Federal Income Tax every year since retiring.

  6. Ronal Reagan DID NOT start taxing SS, nice try propagandists, he tightened enforcement of social security disability payments because it was being abused like most government programs, Bill Clinton taxed Social Security! It was Bill Clinton’s Tax Reform Act of 1993 that raised taxes on Social Security!
