Taxes\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n

Taxes have one of the biggest impacts on your retirement savings\u2019 longevity. With considerations for income taxes and property taxes, you\u2019ll want to examine if where you want to move will protect your investment.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

First off, if you\u2019re wondering if you pay taxes on retirement incomes, the answer is yes. According to <\/span>the IRS<\/span><\/a>, most retirement accounts count as taxable income. This includes, but is not limited to, military retirement pay, pensions, IRAs, 401(k) withdrawals and unemployment benefits. This income will be taxed federally just like when you were employed and is subject to the same tax brackets as regular earned income.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Social Security is also taxed on the federal level depending on your income. If you\u2019re living purely on your social security, you\u2019ll probably avoid paying too much in taxes, but if you have additional retirement income, you\u2019ll probably need to plan on paying the federal government some.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So in short, everyone pays federal income taxes on retirement withdrawals, but state income taxes are not as simple. Depending on each state\u2019s laws, your tax payments<\/span> will vary greatly. For example, you\u2019ll pay nothing on your annual retirement income to the state of Texas. But depending on how much you withdraw, you could be responsible to pay up to 13.30% of that same income in California in taxes.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If your goal is to pay nothing in taxes on your retirement income, below is the list of states that have no income tax.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
