Why wouldn't it be taxable?

A NJ resident pays NJ tax on all of their income.

Caveat- NJ may have a pension exclusion/subtraction.

The more I know the more I don’t know.

Did you try using the web? Google:

It's better than expecting someone on a software internet forum to know every possible rule and exception for every State's retirement and combination of that with the residency State.

taxable unless they were teachers in the armed forces and a military exemption applies... either way there's up to a 100K exemption as @sjrcpa & @qbteachmt  indicated.

If at first you don’t succeed…..find a workaround
