Is a Corrections Officer Retirement Plan in Arizona a Plan G (from a government or public source)? Or is it subject to Michigan tax?

Level 15

A pension distribution coded as a qualified government or public pension at the screen Where is your distribution from? will trigger a type G pension distribution in the TurboTax Michigan state income tax return.

The information below and on the Michigan Department of Treasury website lists the qualifications for a County Correction Officer. From here, we have no idea whether the pension distribution (which we cannot view) qualifies for this specific Michigan pension benefit subtraction.

Michigan Fire, Police, and Correction Officer Retirees

Who qualifies as a Safety Officer?

County Correction Officers

You qualify if you received certification under the Local Corrections Officer Training Act and were employed by a county sheriff in a facility that houses adult prisoners, such as:

a county jail
a work camp

You do not qualify if you worked as:

an MDOC Corrections Officer
support or administrative staff within a county corrections facility
another county employee without a certification (e.g. probate officer, pretrial officer)
