I thought that the state of michigan did not tax pensions and retirement income

Are out of state teacher pensions taxed in Michigan?

Whether your public pension is taxable in Michigan depends on your age:

• Not taxable if born before 1946
• Limited subtraction of $20,000 ($40,000 for joint filers) if born 1946 through 1952
• Not eligible for subtraction if born after 1952

For complete pension deduction information, please see Michigan Income Tax for Retirement Benefits.

TurboTax did my Michigan return, but I was charged tax on my teacher's retirement.  this has never happened before.  Will TurboTax fix this before the filing deadline?  Born before 1946

@tica Make sure you indicated you have a Michigan Public Pension when you enter your 1099-R in your Federal return.  You could delete/re-enter your 1099-R to make sure you get the proper follow-up questions.

This link has info from Michigan Dept. of Treasury about taxable pensions.
