Are Public School Retirement System (PSRS) of Missouri retirement benefits taxable to Kansas?

[nancy1800]

Moved from Missouri to Kansas mid-year and filing taxes to each state. The TurboTax software asks the question on the Federal form, "Where is your distribution from?" and then provides two bullets (One of these retirement providers: Federal retirement or disability benefits, Military retirement or disability benefits, US Railroad Retirement Board benefits, KPERS or other qualified KS public pension benefits OR None of the above). Pension benefits received from Missouri PSRS, so not a "qualified KS public pension," but also seeing information that all public pensions are exempt from state tax in Kansas. I need help on which bullet to select here to ensure my Federal tax return and state tax returns are classifying my public pension benefits accurately? Should I owe taxes to Kansas for my public pension benefits received from Missouri?

Kansas exempts Federal retirement, Military retirement, Railroad Retirement Board benefits, and KPERS and Kansas public pensions, but  not out of state public pensions, private pensions or 401(k) & IRA income.  Since your pension is not a qualified Kansas  public pension, you should select "None of the above".  You will have to pay Kansas state income tax on  your Missouri retirement benefits.
