- 5 - Transfer Refund because a Transfer Refund is payable only as a result of transferring from the Retirement System to the Pension System. As a result of transferring from the Retirement System to the Pension System, petitioner became, and presently is, a member of the Pension System. As a member of the Pension System, petitioner is entitled to receive a retirement benefit based upon his salary and his creditable years of service, specifically including those years of creditable service recognized under the Retirement System. However, because petitioner received the Transfer Refund on account of transferring from the Retirement System to the Pension System, petitioner's monthly annuity is less than the monthly annuity that he would have received if he had not transferred to the Pension System but had retired under the Retirement System. On their Federal income tax return (Form 1040) for 1990, petitioners reported "total pensions and annuities" in the amount of $338,451. Of this amount, petitioners reported $301,387 as the taxable amount. Petitioners attached Form 5329 (Return for Additional Taxes Attributable to Qualified Retirement Plans (Including IRAs), Annuities, and Modified Endowment Contracts) to their return. In Part II of such form, petitioners reported liability for the additional tax under section 72(t) in the amount of $30,139.Page: Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 Next
