Delaware State Taxable Income & Deductions
The Delaware adjusted gross income from which taxes are withdrawn is quite similar to federal adjusted gross income. The main difference is that Social Security funds are not taxable in the state.
For Delaware residents, the income from pension and 401K plans subject to federal taxes will also be subject to state taxes. However, individuals 60 or older are eligible for an exclusion on their pension income of up to $12,500 or the amount of their pension and retirement income, whichever is lower. For individuals aged 60 or older, the combined sum of pension and eligible retirement income should not surpass $12,500 per person. For those under age 60, the exclusion amount on their pension income is restricted to $2,000.
Delaware taxpayers can itemize deductions on their state returns. For a resident to claim itemized deductions, however, they must claim to itemize on their federal return.
