Updated October 4, 2026. Quick answer: No. The Department of Taxation’s page is headed “No State Income Tax on Individuals”, so there is no Nevada return line for military retired pay, though the page does not name military pay.
How Nevada treats military retired pay
| Item | What the documents say |
|---|---|
| Treatment | Nevada does not impose a state income tax on individuals |
| Return | Residents living and working in Nevada do not need to file a state income tax return on earned income such as wages or salaries |
| Not named | The page does not mention military retired pay or pensions |
| Other taxes | The page says Nevada does levy other taxes, such as sales tax and property tax |
A $30,000 example
A retiree with $30,000 of military retired pay owes no Nevada income tax on it, because the state has no individual income tax to apply.
