The Show:

The pandemic has brought some new priorities into focus. Many people have decided to move from one state to another, especially as remote work becomes more of an option. From suburbs and beach towns or simply, better places to retire people are considering what’s best. What states are more tax friendly to live in?

New Jersey happens to be number one when it comes to lifetime total taxes paid. The average New Jersey resident will pay around $930,000 in taxes according to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics. The tax and political environment of a state may cause people to move or at least consider moving.

What taxes do you have based on your state? Property taxes, income taxes, and estate taxes all factor into what you pay each year. Don talks through what you usually pay and how the state government can have an impact on that. The higher your income, often the higher your taxes.

Florida often appeals to retirees, based on both the weather and the tax rates. Texas and Arizona are also popular choices. Before you make a major move like this, you’ll want to work with an advisor to see what makes sense financially. Do you have a coordinated approach between your financial plan, tax plan, and estate plan? It’s important to look at the full picture when planning, including when considering a move.
