Retirement tax questions

Yes. Taxpayers can subtract part of the income they received from a pension or annuity if the taxpayer’s federal AGI is less than:

  • $75,000 for single filers, married taxpayers filing separately, and heads of households; and
  • $100,000 for married taxpayers filing jointly. ( Sec. 12-701(a)(20)(B)(xxi), G.S.)

The subtraction amount is:

  • 14% of pension or annuity income included in federal AGI for the 2019 tax year;
  • 28% of the income included in federal AGI for the 2020 tax year;
  • 42% of the income included in federal AGI for the 2021 tax year;
  • 100% of the income included in federal AGI for tax years beginning after 2021. ( Sec. 12-701(a)(20)(B)(xxi), G.S.)
