Taxation of military retirement benefits

Article Abstract:

The imposition by the Kansas state of income tax on military retirement benefits and the exemption of state and local government retirement benefits from similar taxation is a form of discriminatory taxation. The Supreme Court unanimously decided that Kansas violated the law against discriminatory taxation of a federal employee based on the source of the pay. The Court also held that military retiree benefits should not be differentiated from state and local retirement benefits and that military retirement benefits are reduced pay.
