In 2022, six more states have joined the ranks of those exempting, or partially exempting, military retirement pay from state income tax liability. The move means that nearly 300,000 more military retirees across the nation are now exempt from state income tax.
This year, legislators in New Mexico, Oklahoma, Rhode Island, South Carolina, Vermont and Virginia passed laws giving retirees in those states tax breaks based on their military service.
Here's how the legislation shapes up:
New Mexico: Beginning in 2022, up to $10,000 of military retirement is tax free. That amount increases to $20,000 in 2023, and to $30,000 until at least 2026, according to a governor’s press release.
Oklahoma: Military retirement income is fully tax free beginning in 2022, according to a state Senate press release.
Rhode Island: Military retirement income is fully tax free beginning in 2022, according to a governor’s press release.
South Carolina: Military retirement income is fully tax free beginning in 2022, according to a state government press release.
Vermont: Beginning in 2022, up to $10,000 in retirement income is tax free for those with a gross income less than $50,000 for single filers or $65,000 for joint filers, according to a state legislature press release.
Virginia: In 2022, up to $10,000 in retirement pay is tax free for retirees 55 and older. That amount increases by $10,000 each year until 2025, when up to $40,000 is deductible, according to a state assembly press release.
This leaves only California and the District of Columbia fully taxing military retirement income.

When The States Started Taxing Our Income, In The Early 60's, We Were All Notified To Go To Personnel And Change Our Home States, To A State Which Didn't Tax Our Incomes........ Worked Like a Charm!!... Nothing To It At All.

I predict that more states do this. It's good for their economics.
