A less taxing life
If you’re thinking Texas or Florida, think again.
To suggest that Tennessee is extremely tax-friendly would be an understatement. Consider…
Keep more of what you’ve earned.
Tennessee’s tax environment is one of the most favorable in the country for homeowners and retirees. There is no state income tax — meaning your income stays yours.
No state income tax on wages, salaries, and all earned income
No estate or inheritance tax - what you build passes to those you love
No tax on retirement income Social Security, pensions, 401(k) and IRA distributions all untaxed at the state level
Low property taxes - moderate compared to national averages
For those relocating from higher-tax states, the financial difference can be significant. We encourage you to consult with your financial advisor about your specific situation.
