No taxpayer wants to see their paycheck shrink due to income taxes, but luckily, some states don’t tax your income at all.
As of 2026, nine states do not levy a state income tax. That means less money is taken out of your hard-earned paycheck. If you are retired, no income tax also means no tax on your Social Security benefits, withdrawals from your IRA or 401(k) plan, or payouts from your pension.
