Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@macuser_22 What is a non-deductible basis in an IRA anyway? What is a deductible basis in an IRA?

 

An IRA, a Traditional IRA or Rollover IRA is fully taxable every time you withdraw from it or convert some of it to a ROTH -- which I do every year. The only difference is if you had put some money into it that was already taxed. I don't understand the word deductible with respect to IRAs, actually I don't understand basis either. Can you say more please? thanks!
