Fiscal Note Summary
Effect this measure will have on costs and revenues of state government.
The stated purpose of this bill is to reinstate a personal income tax adjustment to the gross income of certain retirees receiving pensions from defined pension plans that terminated and are being paid a reduced maximum benefit guarantee.
For Tax Years which have been approved by the Legislature, retirees receiving pensions from defined pension plans that terminated and are being paid a reduced maximum benefit guarantee from the federal Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) are eligible to receive a personal income tax adjustment equal to the amount of pension income not received. This bill seeks to extend the decreasing modification for Tax Year 2023 and Tax Year 2024. Current W.Va. Code §11-21-12d, which was amended during the 2019 legislative session, provides that the adjustment shall be effective beginning on January 1, 2020, and shall terminate for taxable years on and after January 1, 2023. Based on our interpretation, passage of this bill would result in a loss of $400,000 for FY2024 and FY2025.
There would be no additional administrative costs.
