School taxes are part of the real estate tax. The local property tax is comprised of the sum of town, school and county tax but the final tax is one amount that you pay either once per year or more likely half on July 1 and half on Dec 1.
NH has a 5% interest and dividends tax that is an income tax on those items. Each person has a $2,400 exemption plus an additional $1,200 exemption if over age 65. Income from NH muni bonds is exempt. This is a tax on interest and dividends only, your IRS 1040 line 8(a) is the interest income and your 1040 line 9(a) is your dividend income. This is not a tax on retirement income reported on form 1099-R nor is it a tax on any savings principal.
