S 354 New Jersey Senate · 2026-2027 Regular Session

Modifies eligibility requirements for other retirement income exclusion concerning other sources of income.

This bill increases the income limit that New Jersey residents aged 62+ can earn from certain non-retirement sources while still qualifying for the retirement income exclusion. Under current law, taxpayers with over $3,000 in income from sources like wages or business profits could not claim the exclusion; this bill raises that limit to $25,000. However, the exclusion remains unavailable if a taxpayer’s total gross income exceeds $100,000. The change directly affects older New Jersey residents receiving retirement income who also have modest additional income from specific sources.
