Military retirement pay in Ohio

Varies

Does Ohio Tax Military Retirement Pay?

Short answer: No. Ohio fully exempts military retired pay from state income tax. Other retirement income: Pensions and 401(k)/IRA withdrawals are taxed. The only break is a small retirement income credit of up to $200 per return, available if modified AGI less exemptions is under $100,000.

Military retired pay is taxable federally; VA disability compensation isn't taxed federally or by any state.

Records to keep: Keep your state return, W-2s and 1099s (1099-R, SSA-1099), and any state credit worksheets. Check your state revenue department's current-year instructions before you file.
