New York does not tax Social Security benefits. New York exempts up to $20,000 of pension income per person for residents 59½ and older. Government pensions (federal, state, and local) are fully exempt. New York income tax rates range from 4% to 10.9%. Most New York 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.
With a New York median household income of $72,108, investing just 10% per year ($7,211) at an 8% average annual return could grow to $104,463 in 10 years and $329,990 in 20 years.
