Utah taxes Social Security benefits but offers a retirement tax credit that offsets the tax for many filers: the credit fully exempts benefits for single filers under about $54,000 and joint filers under about $90,000, phasing out above those levels.
Note: this covers state tax only. The federal government may tax up to 85% of your benefits depending on your combined income, regardless of where you live.
