California Retirement Tax Snapshot

California taxes all retirement income including Social Security for higher earners. State income tax tops at 13.3%. The upside: Prop 13 caps property tax increases at 2% per year from purchase price, so long-term owners pay far less than new buyers in the same neighborhood.
