Updated October 30, 2026. Quick answer: No. Article 10, section 1, subsection 9 of the Nevada Constitution says no income tax may be levied upon the “wages or personal income of natural persons”, so a FERS or CSRS annuity paid to you is not taxed by Nevada. The annuity is still on your federal return.
What Nevada does with a FERS or CSRS annuity
| Question | What the Nevada documents say |
|---|---|
| What the source says | The state documents cited here do not mention federal civil service pensions; the Nevada Constitution bars any income tax on the wages or personal income of natural persons, so a federal pension received by an individual is not subject to a state income tax. |
| Change for 2026 | No 2026 change is printed in the state documents cited here. |
In the Nevada documents’ own words
- “taxes may be levied upon the income or revenue of any business” (Nevada Constitution, Article 10, Section 1 (subsection 9) text)
How this differs from other pensions in Nevada
The sources make no distinction between federal pensions and other pensions; the constitutional bar covers the personal income of natural persons generally, while businesses may be taxed on income or revenue. See also Does Nevada tax pensions? and military retirement pay.
FERS, CSRS and your TSP
The state documents cited here do not address TSP withdrawals. For the Thrift Savings Plan itself, see Does Nevada tax TSP withdrawals? and the TSP calculator.
Where this rule sits on the Nevada return
Nevada collects no individual income tax, so there is no state return to report an annuity on and no line to claim.
Checks before you rely on this answer
- Confirm your move date if you moved to Nevada during the year, because your former state may tax part of the year.
- Keep reporting the annuity on your federal return as usual.
- Check Nevada’s other taxes, such as sales and property tax, separately, because this page covers income tax only.
What the Nevada documents leave open
The Nevada Department of Taxation FAQ was archived but never says in so many words that Nevada has no personal income tax, so the answer rests on the Constitution alone. Neither document mentions pensions, CSRS, FERS or the Thrift Savings Plan.
Common mistakes
- Assuming no state tax means no tax at all. A taxable FERS or CSRS annuity is still on the federal return.
- Reading the bar as covering businesses. The same section says taxes may be levied upon the income or revenue of any business.
