The affected types of plans are: (1) a plan established under section 401(a) or section 401(k) of the federal Internal Revenue Code; (2) amounts paid for annuity contracts under section 403(b) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, allowed to employees of governments and nonprofits; (3) a deferred compensation plan of a state or local government that meets the requirements of section 457 of the federal Internal Revenue Code; (4) a federal Thrift Savings Plan; or (5) a standard Individual Retirement Account pursuant to section 408 of the federal Internal Revenue Code.

AI Summary

This bill allows taxpayers to exclude contributions made to certain retirement savings plans from their gross income tax, meaning these contributions will not be taxed when they are made, but rather when the money is withdrawn from the account in retirement. Specifically, it applies to contributions made to plans established under sections 401(a) or 401(k) of the federal Internal Revenue Code, annuity contracts for government and nonprofit employees under section 403(b), deferred compensation plans for state and local governments under section 457, the federal Thrift Savings Plan, and standard Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) that qualify for federal tax deductions. This change will be effective for contributions made or premiums paid in taxable years beginning on or after January 1st of the year following the bill's enactment.
