Sorry to piggy-back on this question, but I'm at the same point in entering my return info. This is the first year I have worked part-time for our community college where the employer is the state system of higher education. I did contribute to a 457(b) plan and I was asked the question "is your employer a state or local government." Maybe it's the wording of the question throwing me off. A college is not a government. It is a state government unit. So do I answer YES to this question? Thank you!
