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.
In fact, twelve states and the District of Columbia fully tax private pensions. Those states are: Arizona, California, Idaho, Indiana, Kansas, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, North Dakota, Rhode Island, Vermont, and West Virginia. On the other hand, Alabama, Hawaii, and Illinois exempt nearly all retirement income. They exempt 100% of Social Security, military pensions, government pensions, and certain types of private pensions. Only Mississippi and Pennsylvania exempt all retirement income, including 401(k) and IRA distributions.
