Retirement income in Florida

Varies

Does Florida Tax Retirement Income?

Short answer: No. Florida has no individual income tax, so pensions and 401(k)/IRA withdrawals are not taxed by the state. With no income tax, Florida relies more on sales and property taxes; older homeowners get this break: $50,000 homestead exemption: $25,000 off all taxes plus $25,000 off non-school taxes; Save Our Homes caps yearly increases at 3%.

Pensions, traditional IRA and 401(k) withdrawals are taxable federally either way; Roth withdrawals after 59½ (5-year rule met) are tax-free.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
