It depends on who issued it. Retirement system benefits that may be excluded from Louisiana income tax

  • Annual Retirement Income Exclusion—Persons 65 years or older may exclude up to $6,000 of annual retirement income from their taxable income. Taxpayers that are married filing jointly and are both age 65 or older can each exclude up to $6,000 of annual retirement income. If only one spouse has retirement income, the exclusion is limited to $6,000.
