State retirement tax repealed
In March, state lawmakers approved changes to the state tax on pension and retirement income. This Public Act (PA) 4 of 2023 gradually rolls back the income tax on pension income over four years based on one's age. For the 2023 tax year, those born in 1959 or after do not qualify. As the law is phased in, additional retirees become eligible. By 2026, all pensioners are eligible for the full deduction. Retired sergeants and troopers who receive a pension for the State Police Retirement System are exempt from state income tax on their pension income beginning with the 2023 tax year, regardless of age.
