Does Nevada tax pensions and retirement income?
No state income tax
No. Nevada has no state income tax on individuals, so pensions and retirement income are not taxed.
In the state's own words
Copied word for word from the official document linked below each quote:
“The State of Nevada does not impose a state income tax on individuals or participate in the administration of Federal Income Tax.”
And Social Security?
No. Nevada has no state income tax on individuals. The Nevada Social Security page quotes the rule.
Federal tax still applies
Whatever Nevada does, pensions, annuities and traditional IRA or 401(k) withdrawals are generally taxable on your federal return. See the federal tax brackets and, if you are 73 or older, the required minimum distribution calculator.
State rules change, and the details (age limits, income limits, which plans qualify) matter. Check with the Nevada Department of Taxation before you file or move.
