Does your state tax pensions of retirees who have moved to another?

[LCP]

I seem to recall my state (Michigan) trying to do this a few years ago.

Even though much of a retiree's pension is excluded anyway, they wanted to tax those who received more than the excludable amount and were now living where its warm.

Do any states reach out and tax former residents on pensions???

The states no longer can tax pensions of non-residents thanks to a federal law.

I am a Michigan retiree and remember that there Was a federal law that kept them from taxing the pension of retirees who moved out of state. Sorry I can't remember the citation for this law.

Which is the primary reason California is contemplating a withdrawal from the union.

Prior to December 31, 1995 some states taxed retirement income from that state paid to non-residents. The recent tax law cleared up the treatment of partnership retitrement plans.

From CA, http://www.ftb.ca.gov/forms/06_forms/06_1005.pdf ,

Retirement Income

Recent Federal law provisions prohibit states from taxing the retirement income of nonresidents and includes a prohibition on taxing retirement income paid by a partnership to a nonresident retired partner under any written plan, program, or arrangement in effect immediately before retirement begins. This is applicable to amounts received after December 31, 1995.
