Wisconsin and Michigan

Wisconsin may tax the pension but not SS.  Michigan may exempt them both depending on her situation. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,4676,7-238--459647--,00.html">http://www.michigan.gov/taxes/0,4676,7...>

Thank you.

Yes, if she moved to a state that taxes pensions and SS you will need to file a return in both states.  However, there are several states that do not tax either.  If she is in one of those states, you will not need to file.
