Question

I started distributions from my retirement account from another state. I am under the amount that would require tax payment. Do I still need to file a nonresident return?

Assuming you started distributions from your retirement account from another state after you permanently moved and established residency in a new state, you do not need to file a nonresident return for that income.

Under the Pension Source Act (4 U.S.C. § 114), states are banned from taxing retirement income for anyone who isn't a resident there anymore. Even if you earned that money while working in your old state, they lose the right to tax it the moment you officially move out.
