State tax filing

Fanfare:

I did as you mentioned and deleted the rollover on my federal and deleted my NJ return and started over. Doesn't appear on NJ now. I also read your msg about unrecovered and worksheet C.

Here's what I'm trying to clarify regarding the withdrawal from my IRA in 2020 - 

1) Most (if not all) of my IRA were rollovers from various former employers from qualified (401k, 403b, etc) funds that I contributed to and had some amount of matching. How would I know if those contributions I made over the years were NOT taxed by NJ? (I've always been a NJ resident) I know they were NOT taxed Federal, but never thought about NJ... the worksheet C and TT both want to know the amounts that were previously taxed. Before this thread, I've never heard that contributions pretax are only for Fed and not NJ. But according to some reading, it appears my contributions should HAVE BEEN taxed by NJ.

2) Is this different because they were initially in a tax sheltered (401k, 403b) account and have since been rolled over to my own IRA?

3) for clarification, we are not over 62, disabled, or any other thing that qualifies us for an early withdrawal.

Thanks again for your help!
