Retirement tax questions

I posted the NY rules.  As you can see the rules vary but a lump sum from a Keogh qualifies along with inherited accounts that would have qualified. If you had a 403b, then it would need to be periodic.

I am not sure if you income is even taxable in NY. Your pension income is not taxable in New York State when it is paid by:

  • New York State or local government
  • the federal government, including Social Security benefits
  • certain public authorities

What kind of retirement (401k, 403b, etc) plan from what type of employer (government or private) do you have? Let's solve the riddle!
