<p>Can anyone tell me if money that was taken out of my check for KPERS counts as "Total amount of payments to tax-deferred pension and retirement savings plans" (PI-190A) on the CSS Profile? It is a mandatory deduction from my paycheck. I do not pay Federal taxes on that money, but I do pay State taxes on it. It is a defined benefit plan, which means my balance does not determine my benefits when I retire. Should I add this in with my husband's 401k contributions, or does it not count?</p>
