The 9 no-income-tax states
No state tax on wages, salaries, or (mostly) retirement income
These states raise revenue through sales tax, property tax, severance tax on natural resources, or (in Alaska's case) oil royalties. Washington has a capital gains tax that applies only to gains over $250,000. New Hampshire taxes only interest and dividends (phasing out by 2027). Tennessee eliminated its Hall Income Tax on interest/dividends in 2021.
