Why can I subtract 101,108 in income from our New York State tax return

What kind of income for New York? Is it from state and local governments?

Income is from Soc. Sec. Pension. IRA & annuities.  No Govt. income

After you enter each 1099-R, there is a screen that asks what the source of the 1099-R distribution is, like the following screen that appears in the Online product for retirement distributions:

 

Retirement distributions from:

• US Government (including military)
• New York State and City Education
• Certain public authorities
• NYC Variable Supplemental Funds (VSF)
• Certain annuity funds
• Other Pensions of New York State and Local Governments

 

Retirement distributions from:

• New York State and City Education (optional retirement program)
• IRA rolled over from a former government pension
