Melody,
I don’t have a problem paying taxes on my military retirement. I paid taxes on the actualy military paycheck I got while on active duty, why should the retirement be any different? What is nice is not having to pay state taxes on it. Thank you, Kentucky! And not having to pay taxes to anyone on my VA disability check. I don’t know about social security, not quite old enough yet. But since I’m a teacher I’ll never collect on it anyway. Turns out teachers don’t get social security when they retire. So all the money I paid into it is lost. I sure hope someone gets good use out of it.
