Quick answer
Does New York tax Social Security?
New York permits a subtraction for Social Security benefits included in federal adjusted gross income. A federal taxable amount does not, by itself, mean those benefits are taxable by New York. Federal taxation is a separate question. Review the linked official state revenue guidance for the applicable tax year rather than assuming federal and state rules match.
Quick answer
When should I claim Social Security in New York?
There is no single claiming age established by living in New York. SSA explains that the age you begin retirement benefits affects your monthly benefit amount. Review your own SSA benefit record and the official retirement-planning guidance. This page does not calculate benefits or recommend a claiming age.
