Retirement income in Mississippi

Varies

Does Mississippi Tax Retirement Income?

Short answer: No. Qualified retirement income from federal, state, and private pension plans, 401(k)s, and IRAs is exempt if plan requirements are met. Early (premature) distributions are taxable.

Pensions, traditional IRA and 401(k) withdrawals are taxable federally either way; Roth withdrawals after 59½ (5-year rule met) are tax-free.

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.
