Connecticut does not tax military retirement pension income if the taxpayer or spouse are a retired member of the armed forces or if they are a beneficiary receiving survivor benefits under an option or election made by a deceased retired military member.
Note that payments received by a former spouse under an order of divorce or legal separation do not qualify for the military retirement pay exclusion.
To subtract military retirement income in the Connecticut individual tax return in TaxSlayer Pro, from the Connecticut Tax Return menu select:
- Subtractions from Federal Adjusted Gross Income
- Military Retirement Pay - Enter the federally taxable amount as a positive number.
