Does New York Tax the following income?
1. Social Security benefits? In New York, all Social Security retirement benefits are exempt from taxation. Income from retirement accounts or a private pension is deductible up to $20,000
2. New York State Teachers Retirement benefits? Most NYSLRS pensions are subject to federal income tax (although some disability benefits are not taxable). NYSLRS pensions are not subject to New York State or local income tax, but if you move to another state, that state may tax your pension. Therefore, these retirement benefits are exempt from New York income tax.
3. California State Teachers Retirement benefits? No, to qualify for full exclusion-the pension must be from a NYS or local government pension. However, if you meet the age requirement-the pension may qualify for pension and annuity income exclusion of up to $20000.
