| 1.006 | Exemption of Distributions from Certain Contributory Pension and Annuity Plans2
Certain pensions and annuity distributions are tax-exempt under Massachusetts' law. They are payments from contributory plans of the U.S. government, Massachusetts and its subdivisions, and other states that do not tax such income from Massachusetts. Any benefits in excess of contributions not taxed by Massachusetts constitute this tax expenditure. Origin: M.G.L. c. 62, S. 2(a)(2)(E) and 3B(a)(4) Estimate: N.A. |

Footnote:
2 This item and others citing this endnote cover contributory pension plans. The standard tax treatment of these plans is as follows: Component Standard Treatment Contributions: Made out of income that is currently taxed to the employee. Investment Income: Taxed to the employee as "earned" income. Distributions from Pension Funds: Tax-free to the extent they are made out of dollars previously taxed to the employee as contributions or investment income. The non-standard treatment of contributions, investment income, or distributions as described in items 1.006, 1.101, 1.104, and 1.402, results in either nontaxation or deferrals of tax.
