On the tax side of the equation, Washington DC does not impose income tax on Social Security. On the flipside, withdrawals from retirement accounts are fully taxed. In Arlington county, Virginia, it’s the same situation for Social Security income, but withdrawals from retirement accounts are tax deductible up to an amount.
