Frequently Asked Questions

Does Massachusetts Tax Social Security or My Pension?

Massachusetts excludes Social Security benefits entirely from state income tax. Government pensions—including Massachusetts state, local, and federal public pensions—are also 100% tax-exempt. Private pensions, traditional IRAs, and 401(k) withdrawals are taxed at the state's flat 5.0% income tax rate. Homeowners and renters age 65 or older who meet income and property tax thresholds can also claim the refundable Senior Circuit Breaker tax credit, worth up to $2,820.

What Healthcare Do Massachusetts 55+ Hubs Offer?

Greater Boston and MetroWest communities sit minutes from world-renowned health systems, including Mass General Brigham and Beth Israel Lahey Health. South Shore buyers near Middleborough and Plymouth are served by South Shore Health and Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital–Plymouth, while Cape Cod communities like Southport in Mashpee rely on Cape Cod Healthcare's facilities in Hyannis and Falmouth.

Should I Retire on the Massachusetts Coast or Move Further Inland?

It depends on whether living near the ocean is an absolute must for you. Coastal towns like Scituate or those on Cape Cod offer unbeatable beach access and seaside charm, but you'll pay top dollar for homes, face higher insurance costs, and deal with harsh winter nor'easters.
