Church, 401 North McDow
Most Pensions Require
Special Tax Treatment
GREENSBORO - A
person receiving a pension
or annuity should be sure of
the tax status of that in
come, the Internal
Revenue Service says.
A pension to which an
employee contributed no
thing during his or her
employment is fully tax
able and must be reported
on the Form 1040, even if
expenses are not itemized
by the taxpayer on Sched
ule A and B.
However, that portion of
-the pension to which tho
employer and employee
contributed, while not fully
taxable, is partially tax
able and is subject to spe
cial tax reporting, the IRS
said.
If a retiree will recover
his or her total contribu
tions within 36 months after
the first payment is re
ceived, then the annuity
payments are not taxes
until the contributions are
recovered. This is because
the contributions were
taxed while the person was
employed. Those who will
not recover their contribu
tions within a 36-month
period are entitled to ex
clude from taxable income
a certain percentage of
their pensions each year.
Normally, the issuer of the
pension will compute the
exclusion percentage. If
the issuer of the pension
does not compute this per
centage, instructions can
be found in IRS Public
ation 575, “Pension and
Annuity Income,” avail
able free from the IRS.
Additional information
concerning pensions either
taxable or non-taxable is
available by calling the
IRS toll free at 1-800
822-8800 any week day.
