 Plain-English summary Congressional Research Service

(This measure has not been amended since it was reported to the House on June 29, 2006. The summary of that version is repeated here.)

Amends federal law provisions which prohibit states from taxing the retirement income of nonresidents to include a prohibition on taxing retirement income paid by a partnership to a nonresident retired partner under any written plan, program, or arrangement in effect immediately before retirement begins. Makes such amendment applicable to retirement income received after December 31, 1995.

Provides that certain adjustments to retirement payments under pension or deferred compensation plans, including cost-of-living adjustments, shall not disqualify such plans under the "substantially equal periodic payments" test.
