Kansas: Ranked #17, (Tied with Wisconsin)

History

Kansas ranked among Kiplinger’s least-tax-friendly states for retirees, after the state raised rates in a bid to recover from its budget woes. Because of the deficit, the state’s fiscal health is ranked 32nd among all the states, making the possibility of government services suffering from it, real. Something that can’t be good for retirees.
The state also taxes Social Security benefits and retirement income (above $75,000), another thing that can be off-putting for retirees.
In Bankrates ranking of the best and worst states for retirees, Kansas gets 39th place because of its relatively high crime rate, and 37th place for its luke-warm cultural offerings.
