Mississippi 401k and retirement tax guide - 2026
How Mississippi taxes 401k contributions and retirement distributions
Mississippi retirement tax overview
Mississippi does not tax qualified retirement income including 401k distributions and pension income. Mississippi is one of the most tax-friendly states for retirees.
Mississippi exempts all qualified retirement income from state income tax, including 401k and IRA distributions, pension income, and Social Security. Mississippi retirees pay only federal taxes on their retirement income.
Federal 401k rules that apply in Mississippi
Regardless of Mississippi state tax treatment, federal rules govern 401k contribution limits. In 2026 the 401k contribution limit is $23,500 per year ($31,000 if age 50 or older with catch-up contributions). Traditional 401k contributions reduce your federal taxable income dollar-for-dollar in the year contributed. You pay ordinary income tax when you withdraw in retirement. Withdrawals before age 59.5 are subject to a 10% federal penalty plus income taxes unless an exception applies.
