On the other hand, New York excludes $20,000 of annuity and retirement benefits for those who are almost 60 years old, but also the government pension income from the United States, New York State, or New York localities.

In comparison, California only exempts railroad retirement income, and Colorado “raises it” to $24,000. Some states toss the taxpayer’s income right into the middle of the equation. In Connecticut, 42% of retirement income is taken from state income tax if you’re not married and have an adjusted gross income of less than $75,000.

    We moved from Massachusetts to North Carolina about 20 years ago. NC taxed my husbands pension. I had been on disability in MA, I lost it when I moved to NC. I now live in PA and pension is not taxed but I never got my disability back. We lost a lot of money. NO state should tax someone’s pension or SS or disability.
