This bill would raise the amount of retirement income Kentuckians can exclude from state income taxes, increasing the exemption from $31,110 to $41,110 starting in the 2027 tax year. That means retirees would pay state income tax on less of their retirement distributions, potentially lowering their tax bill. Who it may affect: Kentucky retirees receiving pension, retirement account, or other retirement distributions.
