All I know is don't come to New York...
I hear a lot that Texas is the way to go. Unless you're willing to go to Alaska... that's probably the real winner.
Certainly not defending NY taxes, but SS is not taxed, After 59.5 the first $20k IRA withdrawals aren't taxed, and school tax part of property taxes drop fairly dramatically after 65. As always, everyone's situation is unique, or YMMV.
Surprised NH taxes are so low on this table. My NH co-workers constantly complained about their taxes going up.
