Taxes are one factor to consider when deciding where to live in retirement. However, state income tax is not the only tax to think about. Some states don't have a state income tax, but they may have a high personal property tax, property tax, or sales tax. Other factors include cost of living and health costs. For information on state income tax rates, see www.taxfoundation.org/taxdata/show/228.html.
