Do contributions to a retirement plan reduce household income to qualify for NY's Excelsior Scholarship?

Yes, I meant untaxed contributions to retirement accounts. For example, my yearly contributions to my traditional 401K account (not a Roth 401K). Not sure why I wrote it as I did.

I agree the wording on the website implies it would not be added back into income. But, at least one website I saw said differently. Intuitively, it doesn’t seem crazy to me that they would add it back in.
