Rhode Island

For joint filers with a federal adjusted gross income of $111,200 or even less, Social Security benefits won’t be a problem, as they aren’t taxed. The same goes for single filers or head-of-household filers with a federal AGI of $88,950 or less, or married taxpayers that are filing a separate return with a federal AGI of $88,975 or less.

But for taxpayers that exceed these thresholds, Social Security benefits are taxed in Rhode Island to the same extent that they are taxed at the federal level. There are no local taxes, but there is a 7% state levy. In Rhode Island, the median property tax rate is $1,533 per $100,000 of an assessed home value.
