How Nevada taxes retirement income

Nevada has no personal income tax, so the simulator charges no Nevada income tax on Social Security, pensions, IRA and 401(k) withdrawals, Roth conversions, wages or investment income[1]. Federal income tax still applies to all of them as usual; only the state layer is zero.

That makes Nevada one of 9 states with no income tax at all, out of the 33 covered here. The notes below say whether the simulator leaves out any narrower tax Nevada does levy.

Worked example

A retired couple, both 67, filing jointly, with $48,000 of Social Security, $40,000 of IRA withdrawals and a $20,000 pension. The figures are computed when the page is built, by the same state-tax function the simulator runs.

Married couple, both 67, in Nevada
IRA / 401(k) withdrawals + pension$60,000
Social Security in the state base ($48,000 received, $40,000 federally taxable)$0
Nevada income tax$0
Share of $108,000 gross income0.00%

A single retiree, 67, with half those amounts ($24,000 of Social Security, $20,000 of IRA withdrawals, a $10,000 pension) owes $0.

Nevada state tax calculator

  • Nevada income tax: $0. Nevada has no personal income tax.

Runs the same state-tax function as the Deorbit Plan simulator, with withdrawals and pension split evenly between spouses on a joint return. State tax only; federal tax and any local income tax are not included.

Neighbouring states

The example couple’s state tax in Nevada and in the neighbouring states covered here, same income and ages:

Against Nevada, the couple would pay more in California (+$735), Oregon (+$4,105), Utah (+$4,450), Arizona (+$750). With $200,000 of IRA withdrawals instead of $40,000, they would owe $0 in Nevada, against California ($11,998), Oregon ($18,105), Utah ($11,606), Arizona ($4,750).
