States exempting a portion of pension income include: Arkansas, Colorado, Delaware, Georgia, Hawaii, Iowa, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Michigan, Missouri, Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Virginia and Wisconsin.
In addition, several states provide tax exemptions or exclusions, for which Mass. pensions may qualify. For example, Maine offers a $6,000 pension exemption, while pensioners, 59 1/2 or over, may qualify for a $20,000 exemption in New York. Unfortunately, there are states that tax Mass. pensions in full. Connecticut, Rhode Island and Vermont are included in that group.
