How Many Words In a Novel. A novel is usually defined as anything over 40,000 words. Thereâs technically no max length to a novel. Although, if itâs over 110,000 words, some may call it an epic, not a novel.
Many states exempt federal, state, and local government pensions (often with limitations) and 23 states exempt some private pension income. Alabama, Hawaii, Illinois, Mississippi, and Pennsylvania exempt virtually all pension income from their state income taxes. Except for Social Security, railroad retirement, and military retirement benefits, Connecticut's state income tax treats income from public and private pensions the same as any other income.
A Note on Hawaii Tax Terminology. Instead of the more common term âsales tax,â Hawaii law uses the term âgeneral excise tax.â Hawaiiâs Department of Taxation currently directs taxpayers to Tax Facts 96-1 for an explanation of the relationship between the two terms. In this article, âsales taxâ and âgeneral excise taxâ are used interchangeably.
