Railroad Retirement Worksheet

Taxpayer's Name:
Current Tax Year:    TP is age 65+    SP is age 65+
Income Worksheet:

TaxSlayer incorrectly includes RR retirement benefits in the retirement exclusion. But RR retirement benefits are not taxable in any state, thus has its own exclusion line. Consequently, other retirement exclusions are capped at the 20K/24K limit prematurely. This calculator removes the taxable portions of Tier 1 RR benefits from the CO retirement amount and totals those RR retirement amounts, all to be entered on the CO "Subtractions from income" page.
