Maryland does not tax Social Security benefits for lower-income residents (income under $75,000 single/$100,000 married). Maryland provides up to a $35,000 pension exclusion for residents 65 and older ($15,000 for those 62-64). Maryland income tax rates range from 2% to 5.75%. Most Maryland investors should note that the majority of US states tax capital gains as ordinary income at regular state income tax rates. Federal long-term capital gains tax rates (0%, 15%, or 20%) apply based on your total taxable income.
