State tax filing

Not an expert.  But, my reading of (j) restricts the reading of (ii) and (B) to 401(a) plans.

 

My original question was regarding a standard employer pension plan (I know - rare anymore).  I have a 401(k) plan as well.

 

But, I came to the conclusion a 401(a) is a bit different.  Per Wikipedia, they are typically: "available to some employees of the government, educational institutions, and non-profits"

In addition my pensions were built while I was in CA and as far as I know if they were not taxed by the Feds they also were not taxed by the State.

 

My conclusion was that I did not qualify for this Utah deduction.
