What are the most income tax-friendly states for retirees? That would be the seven states â Alaska, Florida, Nevada, South Dakota, Texas, Washington and Wyoming â that donât tax personal income; and the two states â New Hampshire and Tennessee â that collect income tax only on interest and dividend income.
Fourty-four of the fifty states collect a state income tax, all of which are lower than the Federal Income Tax. The highest marginal tax bracket in any state is just over 10%, comparable to the lowest tax bracket in the Federal Income Tax. While most states use a bracketed system similar to the Federal Income Tax, some use a flat income tax which collects a single, low percentage of all income from the first dollar to the last.
