State Tax on Annuity Income by State (2026)

Updated October 5, 2026. Quick answer: A few states in the table below tax no annuity income, several tax it at a flat rate, and several add an exclusion for retirees or for annuities paid from a qualified plan. Each row links to that state’s own page, which quotes the state’s tax agency, legislature or constitution.

How to read the table

A figure is the cap or rate printed in the state’s own document for the year shown on the state’s page. Where a state’s documents print no rule for a point, the state’s page says so instead of guessing.
