2011 Senate Bill 520

Expand pension income tax exemption

Introduced in the Senate

June 23, 2011

Introduced by Sen. Bert Johnson (D-2)

To repeal an “either/or” detail of Gov. Rick Snyder's <a href="http://www.michiganvotes.org/2011-HB-4361">tax reform and business tax cut</a>, that allows a person age 67 and above to exempt up to $20,000 in pension income ($40,000 for a joint return), but only if the person doesn’t also take the income tax personal exemption and the exemption for Social Security income. The bill would allow a person to take all three exemptions.

Referred to the Committee on Reforms, Restructuring, and Reinventing
