Removes income-based limitations on gross income tax exclusion for pension and retirement income.
This bill removes income-based limits on New Jersey's tax exclusion for pension and retirement income. Currently, taxpayers with higher incomes face reduced or eliminated exclusions (e.g., capping exclusions at $150,000 gross income for 2021-2022). The bill eliminates these income thresholds, allowing all eligible pensioners aged 62+ or disabled (per the law) to exclude their full pension amount from state taxes regardless of income level. It directly affects New Jersey residents receiving pension, retirement, or disability benefits who meet age/disability criteria. The change modifies existing tax code sections (N.J.S.54A:6-10 and P.L.1977, c.273) to remove the income restrictions.
