This brochure provides general information about the income tax liability on your Wisconsin Retirement System benefits. The tax treatment of WRS benefits is generally similar for federal and Wisconsin income tax purposes.
Once you stop working for a Wisconsin Retirement System employer, federal law requires you to begin receiving your benefit payment(s) by a certain date, depending on your age. This is called a required minimum distribution (RMD).
