Arkansas
In Arkansas, the personal income tax rates vary from 2% to 6.6%. On the bright side, recipients of Social Security benefits are exempt from such taxes. More than that, Arkansas does not levy taxes on military pensions and life insurance payouts (resulting from a death). Seniors can also benefit from a $6,000 deduction for other types of retirement income like from pensions or IRAs.

Mississippi
The Magnolia State’s personal income tax rates range from 3% to 5%. Retirees will be glad to know that Mississippi exempts all forms of retirement income from taxes, Social Security benefits included. According to state authorities, “generally, retirement income, pensions and annuities are not subject to Mississippi Income tax if the recipient has met the retirement plan requirements.”

I think it’s double taxation. First we pay when we make the money, then we pay when we receive what we have paid into, and already been taxed on. I really don’t understand this process. The checks are so small anyway, but take out the God awful taxes, and you could almost make it on what you get. Don’t understand.
Oklahoma also does not tax Social Security. The taxable portion of Social Security on the federal return is taken as a deduction in arriving at Oklahoma taxable income.
Used to think we lived in the best country in the world. Its sad to see so few impose their will on so many. At one time I could proclaim “this really is a wonderful place to live and bring up a family” without being canceled.
Its like we can never do enough, as though we have not made significant gains in the past several decades.
I fell like the abused child or spouse who keeps getting kicked no matter how hard they try.
Its very difficult staying positive and moving forward with a positive attitude when you are considered enemy number 1 by 50% of the population. All we want is to be left alone to live our lives the way we see fit.
Not looking for gratitude or validation just peace.
There are many more states than listed above that do not tax Social Security benefits as income. In fact, there are only 13 states that do consider Social Security benefits as taxable income.
people you have to understand and that is SSI IS MONEY GIVEN TO YOU BUT IT IS NOT FUNDED BY OUR MONEY AND SSDI OR RETIREMENT ARE WHAT IS PUT IN BY US AND TAXED WHEN PUT IN AND SO IT IS CONSTANTLY BEING FUNDED.THE REASON YOU SEE AN OFFSET IN PAY IS WHEN THEY DEDUCT FUNDS IT IS CALLED A WINDFALL,MEANING THE SUPPLEMENT THEY PAY YOU IS TAKEN OUT OF YOUR CHECK SO THEY CAN PAYBACK THE UNFUNDED ACCOUNT WITH SSDI OR RETIREMENT FUNDS.COMMON SENSE IS YOU NEED A CONSTANT FLOW OF MONEY GOING THROUGH THE SYSTEM TO KEEP IT RUNNING AND NOT COMPLETELY IMPLODE AND CRASH.
someone has to be double taxed in order to support the deplorables who refuse to work. The few working people in this country are taxed to death and it is not going to change.
You may have awakened some states like New Jersey and they will probably started developing a new tax bill already!
dOES kENTUCKY TAX SOCIAL SECURITY BENEFITS?
I live in Alabama which I hope is one of the states that doesn’t tax SS income. After bills my increase was
$12. per month. What about the 5.9% figure I hear being talked about for this year. Is that going to be a
real number or not. We live paycheck to paycheck so I hope it is for real. Can you send me a list of the 26
states that don’t tax SS?
