No, retirement income can only be taxed by the state you are a resident of when you receive, regardless of where it was earned or paid by. Public Law 104-95 (P.L. 104-95) prevents any state from taxing income from certain pensions and deferred compensation plans paid to individuals who are not residents or domiciliaries of that state.
