1 Section 1. Paragraph 3-a of subsection (c) of section 612 of the tax 2 law, as amended by section 3 of part I of chapter 59 of the laws of 3 2015, is amended to read as follows: 4 (3-a) Pensions and annuities received by an individual who has 5 attained the age of fifty-nine and one-half, not otherwise excluded 6 pursuant to paragraph three of this subsection, to the extent includible 7 in gross income for federal income tax purposes, but not in excess of 8 [ twenty ] twenty-five thousand dollars for any taxable year beginning on 9 or after January first, two thousand twenty-seven, thirty thousand 10 dollars for any taxable year beginning on or after January first, two 11 thousand twenty-eight, thirty-five thousand dollars for any taxable year 12 beginning on or after January first, two thousand twenty-nine, and forty 13 thousand dollars in each subsequent year , which are periodic payments 14 attributable to personal services performed by such individual prior to 15 [ his ] retirement from employment, which arise (i) from an employer-em- 16 ployee relationship or (ii) from contributions to a retirement plan 17 which are deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, the term 18 "pensions and annuities" shall also include distributions received by an 19 individual who has attained the age of fifty-nine and one-half from an 20 individual retirement account or an individual retirement annuity, as 21 defined in section four hundred eight of the internal revenue code, and 22 distributions received by an individual who has attained the age of 23 fifty-nine and one-half from self-employed individual and owner-employee 24 retirement plans which qualify under section four hundred one of the 25 internal revenue code, whether or not the payments are periodic in 26 nature. Nevertheless, the term "pensions and annuities" shall not 27 include any lump sum distribution, as defined in subparagraph (D) of

S. 10175 2

1 paragraph four of subsection (e) of section four hundred two of the 2 internal revenue code and taxed under section six hundred three of this 3 article. Where [ a husband and wife ] spouses file a joint state personal 4 income tax return, the modification provided for in this paragraph shall 5 be computed as if they were filing separate state personal income tax 6 returns.
