Is retirement considered income?

[TomK2023]

Maybe.  If you receive retirement benefits in the form of pension or annuity payments from a qualified employer retirement plan, all or some portion of the amounts you receive may be taxable unless the payment is a qualified distribution from a designated Roth account.

However, it is not considered income for the Earned Income Tax Credit.

Yes.   Do you have Social Security or some retirement income such as a pension, income from an IRA, 401k etc.?   

Go to Federal> Wages & Income>>Retirement Plans and Social Security  (SSA1099 and 1099RRB) to enter your SSA1099.

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.
