  1. Wyoming

According to a list from Bankrate, Wyoming is the best state to be in as a retiree. As of 2020, the Equality State has eliminated the state’s income tax, which means Social Security benefits are yours alone to enjoy. Retirees can find a lot of things to spend their Social Security money in Wyoming, from engaging in outdoor activities to participating in all sorts of events organized by active senior communities.

In addition, Wyoming is also among the states with the 10 lowest real-estate property tax burdens in the nation; if you want to buy a house there, it’s cheaper than in many other parts of the United States.

  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.

    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!
