Retirement tax questions
The questions TurboTax is asking are all specific to a "contribution deduction" (not anything about a distribution) :
"Did you make contributions to a retirement plan when you did not live in Virginia?" and "Did your state tax your contributions?" For me, back in 2016 and earlier living in New York, I made contributions to ROTH accounts using post-tax dollars when I was living in New York, so it's hard not to answer these questions as "Yes"...... Some further clarity in the Turbotax questions would be very helpful. And maybe having some additional help available on those pages as well.
That being said, when I made my traditional IRA withdrawal in 2020 now as a Virginia resident, I was living in Virginia and chose to have Virginia State income taxes withheld (NOT New York). So from what you are saying I should focus on only the contributions made to the account from which I am withdrawing from and answer "No" to "Did your state tax your contributions". I did NOT have any New York income tax witholding from these 2020 distributions.
Thanks for your timely responses!
