Hello, I received social security payments and a NJ state pension payment (retired from working in a NJ school district), and now live in NC. Does NC charge state tax on social security and NJ state pensions?

Thank you!

Hi @meaj10

Social Security income in North Carolina is not taxed. Source

Income from a pension, 401(k), IRA or any other type of retirement account is all taxed at the North Carolina state income tax rate of 5.25%. Unlike many other states, North Carolina does not allow deductions on any type of retirement income. Source
