New Jersey does not tax Social Security at all, and those benefits are excluded from state gross income limits. Retirees 62 and older with total gross income of $100,000 or less can exclude up to $100,000 of pension, annuity, and IRA income if married filing jointly ($75,000 single). The exclusion steps down for income between $100,001 and $150,000, and drops to zero above $150,000.
