12:20 PM -- SB16-001
Representative Landgraf, sponsor, introduced Senate Bill 16-001. Under current law, qualifying taxpayers ages 55 to 64 may deduct up to $20,000 in retirement benefits from their taxable income each year and qualifying taxpayers ages 65 and older may deduct up to $24,000 each year. As amended by the Senate Appropriations Committee, the bill eliminates these limitations for military retirement income, allowing taxpayers ages 55 and older to deduct the entire amount of their military retirement income from state taxable income beginning in tax year 2017. Other, non-military income is still subject to the existing deduction limits.
