Tennessee: Tops in Low Taxes
When it comes time to consider the cost of living at a community and how much you’ll have to spend each month on mortgage, real estate taxes, living expenses, golf fees, etc., there is one consideration that may not get figured into the equation—state taxes. 

While Federal tax is uniform, a move to another state forces you to consider myriad tax implications: inheritance taxes, real and personal property taxes, intangibles taxes, sales tax and, of course, income tax.

The No. 1 state in letting you keep the most amount of your state income is Tennessee, which would keep only $900 in taxes on an annual income of $125,000 (see chart). At the other end of the spectrum, New York City/New York state has the largest hand outstretched and would take $8,278 annually out of the same earnings. That yearly tax bite translates into more than $165,000 over 20 years.

If you earned the same amount in Tennessee over the same amount of time, you would have had in excess of $147,000 that you could have spent on travel, golf and your new home. Viewed in such a light, your choice of state could have a major impact on not only your cost of living, but on the amount of capital you will have to leave to your heirs.
