12 States That Won’t Touch Your Pension, 401(k), or Social Security

Nevada

Nevada is a tax-friendly retirement destination with dynamic towns, stunning landscapes, and enormous deserts. For retirees looking for tax breaks, Nevada is a good option.

Nevada, like a few others, has no state income tax. This tax policy exempts Social Security, pensions, and 401(k) and IRA withdrawals from state taxes. Nevada retirees may spend their tax-free income to enjoy the state’s numerous pleasures.

Nevada offers tax benefits beyond its hands-off retirement income policy. The state does not tax inheritance or estates, thus retirees may leave their estates to their heirs. Nevada too has a 6.85% sales tax rate. Local sales taxes raise the rate to 8.265%.

Despite these perks, Nevada retirees must consider taxes. In cities, state property taxes may be expensive. While not the highest in the country, the rates may nonetheless raise the cost of living, particularly for retirees who own property in the state.

    There is ambiguous language in the bill that they passed for the “Millionaire’s Tax” that lets them tax pensions, which they will do, guaranteed. The wording is vague enough to allow them to also start taxing Social Security benefits. Stay away from Washington State unless you want to end up destitute.

    Good article. Let’s see the government eliminate the federal income tax on capital gains on residential homes. Currently, we pay capital gains tax as a single person on any gain over $250,000 and, as a married couple filing jointly, on any gain over $500,000.

    This would help many Americans!

    Good article. I only wish the next no tax is on the capital gain of your principal (residential) home. Let’s do away with the $250,000 tax exemption if single and $500,000 if married filing jointly tax exemption and make it a 0% capital gains tax. Inflation is the key culprit in the appreciation of property values and also creates increased costs for all products and services.

    Lou Masko, I’m a florida native, and it is entirely untrue that you don’t pay property taxes after 25 years

    You forgot the state of Washington. We don’t have a state income tax for people who earn less than $1 million a year

    attention imbeciles! Duh, the article is titled “12 States That Won’t Touch Your Pension, 401(k), or Social Security” that means they don’t tax those 3 forms of income…what it doesn’t mean is that you get out of paying property taxes, flood insurance, home insurance, etc…Jesus, how f____n’ stupid can you be!

    I’ve been in my Florida home for 34 years and I’m now 63. I’ve never heard of what you are saying about not paying property taxes after 25 years and being 65. Is this something new ?

    you still pay property taxes if you own your home over 25 years. I am 77 and have lived in my home 26 years and pay over 3000 a year in taxes. Get your facts straight.
