Pensions and retirement plans are taxed according to where you live as opposed to where they were earned.

From @TurboTaxAndreaC1 : Some types of retirement income are taxed in Alabama. Income from retirement accounts like an IRA or a 401(k) will be taxed as regular income, at Alabama’s state income tax rates. Tax rates range from 2% to 5%. More information can be found here https://revenue.alabama.gov/incometax/xempt.cfm

However, income from pensions is not taxed in Alabama. If you receive money from a public pension like a Teachers Retirement System or from a private company pension, that income will not be taxed by the state.

NOTE: There is federal tax on pension benefits you receive. But in Alabama, pensions are tax exempt. That includes state pensions from various groups including state employees and teachers.
