My post was to caution those that do not meet this requirement that their entire military retirement income will not be exempt from taxes.   Walter W.

I retired with more than 20 years of active service. I don't pay taxes on my military retirement or Social Security. But I have a private company retirement and I pay dearly. My taxes are prepared by a CPA who's Father is Retired AF and I think she knows the NC Tax Laws. I do not get $8,000.00 deduction from my property taxes and nothing from my taxes on my vehicles, boats or recreational vehicles. Check it, NC is not a cosy as you think. $30.00 to get your yearly inspection.   Dave Nosek Member Username: Waterman15 Post Number: 44 Registered: 10-2005 Posted From: 134.215.253.245 Posted on Saturday, May 01, 2010 - 01:16 am:    Michigan presently dosen't tax any retirement income including IRA or 401 K withdrawals. Other taxes i.e sales,vehicle regestration etc will kill you though. My property taxes arent to bad I guess but I don't have experience with other states so can't really say. We have a 50% homestead exemption plus DAV also get additional benefits.   DeeDee Clarke Senior Member Username: Deedee Post Number: 623 Registered: 05-2004 Posted From: 67.11.180.124 Posted on Saturday, May 01, 2010 - 12:56 am:    Walter - Not all military retirees don't pay income taxes in NC. We checked into it before buying our property in NC. Full exemption for persons with five years of creditable service as of August 12, 1989; otherwise a deduction of up to $ 4,000 ($ 8,000 for joint filers) is allowed (N. C. Gen Stat. § 105-134. 6 and North Carolina Department of Revenue at http: //www. dor. state. nc. us/taxes/individual/benefits. html)   Walter W.

I pay every year, highly. All taxes, realestate taxes are usually taxed by the county and city. Personal property taxes on vehicles, boats and recreational vehicles are taxed the same as realestate taxes and not cheap. I did not check on this prior ro moving to NC., but if I had I would have changed my move. Now as you know the situation in every state, we will be getting an increase in everything. Explore before moving to NC.   Carmon R Senior Member Username: Ckroy Post Number: 954 Registered: 11-2005 Posted From: 66.230.84.53 Posted on Friday, April 30, 2010 - 04:22 am:    Alaska has no state income tax and if you are rated 50% or more disabled by the VA, you get a property tax exemption on the first $150,000 of your primary residence. Also due to the disability rating, residents get a free fishing and hunting license and state park pass. I also got a federal park pass, which anyone with a 30% or more rating is eligible for.   Denny Knott Senior Member Username: Degause01 Post Number: 1374 Registered: 07-2005 Posted From: 98.183.26.167 Posted on Friday, April 30, 2010 - 02:27 am:    Florida also exempts 30% plus disabled an additional $5k, and 100% pays no property tax..   dinotars Senior Member Username: Dinotars Post Number: 6621 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 173.169.151.24 Posted on Friday, April 30, 2010 - 01:09 am:    Florida has no state income tax and a homestead exemption of %25,000.   KSYR Senior Member Username: Ksyr Post Number: 651 Registered: 06-2003 Posted From: 74.33.199.177 Posted on Friday, April 30, 2010 - 12:31 am:    NEW YORK HAS THREE TYPES OF VETERANS PROPERTY TAX EXEMPTIONS; ALTERNATIVE VETERANS' EXEMPTION COLD WAR VETERANS' EXEMPTION ELIGIBLE FUNDS EXEMPTION ALL INFO CAN BE FOUND AT http://www.orps.state.ny.us/pamphlet/exempt/vets.htm   John David Brooks Advanced Member Username: Johnb6597 Post Number: 378 Registered: 04-2008 Posted From: 121.55.235.75 Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 11:53 pm:    Greetings, John: Yes, but then you'd have to live in Oklahoma! rofl   John Civick Advanced Member Username: John6412 Post Number: 261 Registered: 07-2008 Posted From: 32.171.89.129 Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 11:49 pm:    Oklahoma is kind, 100% exemption on property taxes and sales tax up to $25,000.   John David Brooks Advanced Member Username: Johnb6597 Post Number: 376 Registered: 04-2008 Posted From: 121.55.235.75 Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 10:33 pm:    In Otero County, New Mexico, disabled vets enjoy property tax exemption on the first $8000 of the assessed property value.   Martin V Smith Advanced Member Username: Mvsusaf Post Number: 272 Registered: 04-2005 Posted From: 72.76.38.134 Posted on Thursday, April 29, 2010 - 09:54 pm:    A DD214 is worth a reduction of $250 on your property taxes in New Jersey.

My area in NY offers a discount on my taxes. Since I am a disabled vet who served during war-time, I get a 25% percent discount on my property taxes. I just completed working a temp gig as a clerk for the Census, and some of the other vets I worked with there had no clue about this, so they've missed out on the break for years. I know it varies from state to state. I did tell my friend about this who's stationed in the D.C. area, and they do no receive any break of this type in that area.
