Retirement Taxes by State: 5 Best and 5 Worst for 2026

Thinking about moving to another state to save money in retirement? Before you pack your bags, you need to understand how retirement taxes really work. In this video, we break down the 5 most tax-friendly and 5 least tax-friendly states for retirees based on far more than just state income tax. You'll learn how each state treats Social Security, pensions, IRA and 401(k) withdrawals, estate taxes, inheritance taxes, property taxes, and sales taxes, along with the hidden costs that many retirees overlook. A state with no income tax isn't always the best place to retire, and a higher-tax state isn't always the wrong choice. The real goal is maximizing your after-tax retirement income while protecting the lifestyle you've worked so hard to build. Whether you're already retired or planning to retire in the next few years, this video will help you make a more informed decision before relocating.
