Retirement tax questions

No, 457 plans distributions are taxable on the Michigan tax return. Here is an excerpt from Michigan.gov about the retirement distribution subtraction:

 

"What Distributions Do Not Qualify for a Subtraction?

 

Certain distributions reported on form 1099-R are not retirement or pension benefits. Under Michigan law, deferred compensation is taxable. These distributions include:

  • All distributions from 457 plans
  • Distributions from 401(k) or 403(b) plans sourced to employee contributions and the earnings from those contributions if they were not matched by the employer.
  • Early distributions under the terms of the retirement plan are always taxable regardless of the date of birth of the taxpayer. (See retirement code chart for 1099-R below.)"
