[Winter2025VA]

FROM THE ARTICLE: Paychecks and retirement income escape state taxes if you live here.

In nine states, income isn’t taxed — allowing residents to hold onto more of their hard-earned dollars. For retirees, this means that pension payouts, retirement account withdrawals and Social Security benefits aren’t subject to state taxes.
