Summary:
- Only the nine states listed above have no state personal income tax.
- Five states have no state-level sales tax; just Alaska overlaps both categories, but local sales taxes may still apply2.
- Other taxes (sales, property, gross receipts) may still be substantial, so living "tax-free" at the state level usually only refers to a specific type of tax, not all taxes.
