Retirement income in South Dakota

Does South Dakota Tax Retirement Income?
Short answer: No. South Dakota has no individual income tax, so pensions and 401(k)/IRA withdrawals are not taxed by the state. With no income tax, South Dakota relies more on sales and property taxes; older homeowners get this break: Assessment freeze for 65+ or disabled owners with income under $56,595 single or $66,885 multi-member (2026).
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.
