Are Social Security benefits taxable in Wisconsin?

Asked 6 months ago
No, Social Security benefits are not taxable in Wisconsin. The state follows the federal tax law, which exempts Social Security benefits from taxation. Retirement income, including Social Security benefits, pensions, and annuities, are generally not subject to Wisconsin state income tax. However, some individuals may be required to include a portion of their Social Security benefits as taxable income if their total income exceeds certain thresholds. Additionally, it is important to note that other states may have different tax laws regarding Social Security benefits. It is recommended to consult with a tax professional or refer to the Wisconsin Department of Revenue's official guidelines for specific information regarding your tax situation.
