I am a resident of Montana who retired from the U.S. armed forces during the current tax year. I was stationed outside of Montana. Is the pension income I receive taxable by Montana?
Generally, if you retire from the U.S. armed forces and remain in the state that you were stationed in, you will become a resident of that state because you are no longer covered by the Federal Soldiers’ and Sailors’ Civil Relief Act. The pension income that you receive is not taxable to Montana because you are no longer a resident of Montana. However, if you maintain your Montana residency, any income you receive while a resident is taxable to Montana.
