MOAA’s Military State Report Card and Tax Guide

MOAA has consolidated the annual State Report Card and State Tax Guide. The color-coded maps below assess each state on the taxability of military retired pay and survivor benefits (top map) and whether states have enacted legislation addressing servicemember and military family issues tracked by the Defense-State Liaison Office (bottom map). Information is current as of the dates noted below; consult state authorities for additional/more current information.

 

Access to MOAA’s State Report Card has been temporarily granted to all members. If you are not already a PREMIUM or LIFE member, join or upgrade now to ensure your access to this and other valuable content from MOAA continues.
