If you get money from a retirement plan, such as a pension, this program may help lower the amount of state income tax you pay or increase the amount of your refund. You may exclude part of your annual retirement income up to $6,000. Retirement income is money you receive from pensions and annuities.
How do I apply?
You can claim your exemption on your state income tax filing. However, if you are not sure if you qualify, please contact your local office to find out how to obtain your personal tax exemption.
