Clarity needed. Are you referring to tax withholding at time of payment or to whether the pension is included in taxable income?

I know that Alabama does not have state tax on DB pension payments. But I don't have a list, though I remember seeing one a few years ago.

I'm talking about are pension payments considered state taxable income

e.g. PA doe snot state tax monthly pension payments

[hr for me]

well, texas doesn't have state income tax, so no they wouldn't tax it.
