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.”

It is double taxation!
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 isn’t Illinois Jon the list. They do not tax any retirement income.
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?
BS! Texas DOES tax SS!
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
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.
Unless I missed it, New York State does not tax SS benefits either.
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.
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!
