Social Security benefits in North Dakota

Varies

Is Social Security Taxed in North Dakota?

Short answer: No. Since tax year 2021, North Dakota lets all taxpayers exclude the taxable portion of Social Security, with no income limit. SB 2351 (2021 special session) removed the earlier $50,000 / $100,000 AGI limits.

Federally, up to 85% of benefits can be taxable depending on your combined income (IRS Pub 915); that part doesn't change by state.

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.
