New in 2004—The pension exclusion is 100 percent or $40,200, whichever is less. Retirees of previously exempt retirement systems of the federal government, Common- wealth of Kentucky, or any Kentucky local government must compute the amount of pension income attributable to service credit earned after December 31, 1997. This amount will be included with other nonexempt pension sources in Part II. Types of Income Subject to Exclusion—All pension and retirement income paid under a written retirement plan is eligible for exclusion. This includes pensions, annuities, IRA accounts, 401(k) and similar deferred compensation plans, death benefits, and other similar accounts or plans. As a gen- eral rule, if the income is reported on the federal income tax return, Form 1040, line 15(b) or 16(b); Form 1040A, line 11(b) or 12(b); Form 4972; or is a disability retirement benefit or deferred compensation distribution reported on Form 1040, line 7 or 1040A, line 7, then it qualifies for the exclusion. Form 740-NP filers report only pension income received while a resident of Kentucky. LINE-BY-LINE INSTRUCTIONS Column A, Column B—This exclusion is for each taxpayer. A husband and wife must compute and claim their own exclu- sion, regardless of filing status.

Do not include income from deferred compensation plans in Part I. Use Line 1(a) if retired before January 1, 1998, to report fully exempt pension benefits.

Purchased Service Credit (Air-time)—Certain retirement plans allow for the purchase of up to five years of service credit unrelated to prior work history. These purchases are commonly known as air-time. Air-time is not included in total service earned after December 31, 1997, regardless of when purchased.
