State tax filing
If your $35,651 pension is exempt, then it would be deducted as a government pension (as shown in the third picture you attached on Line 2).
The other two pensions, totaling $26,600, are not fully exempt. If this is for a different taxpayer (spouse of the taxpayer who had the exempt pension), then up to $20,000 can be deducted. Per NYS, taxpayers over age 59 1/2 can deduct up to $20,000 of certain federal, NY state or local government pensions and certain IRAs on their New York return.
The math for this calculation is correct as $62,200- $35,540 - $20,000 = $6,660.
Please see Publication 36 for more information.
