How Florida taxes retirement income

2026 rules  Tax year 2026 · research last updated October 2, 2026

  • Florida has no state income tax, so Social Security, pensions, IRA and 401(k) withdrawals, Roth conversions, interest, dividends and capital gains are not taxed by the state.
  • Federal income tax and Medicare premiums still apply, and they're where most retirement tax planning happens.

This page covers income tax only. Property, sales and estate or inheritance taxes are separate. Taxtirement does use your state's sales tax for the federal itemized deduction when that's larger.
