Pennsylvania Annuity Rates & Guide
Pennsylvania is one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees. Annuity income is fully exempt from state income tax once you reach retirement age, making it an excellent state for life annuity buyers.
Key Facts for Pennsylvania Annuity Buyers
Tax Treatment of Annuity Income in Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania does not tax retirement income including annuity payments for retirees. The state's flat 3.07% income tax does not apply to distributions from retirement plans or annuities once you reach age 59½.
Remember that federal taxes still apply regardless of your state. For non-qualified annuities, only the earnings portion is taxed (the "exclusion ratio" shelters your original investment). For qualified annuities funded with pre-tax money, 100% of each payment is taxable at the federal level. Read our complete tax guide for details.
