It is important to note that although many states have eliminated state taxes on Social Security benefits, tax policies may differ for pensions and distributions from 401(k) and IRA accounts. Tax laws are also subject to change, so consulting a tax adviser or state tax authorities is recommended for the most current, accurate information.
