In 2015 I retired from Texas Teacher retirement system. I did not start drawing my pension until March of 2016. I had cashed in several years of service back in 1989. I bought back 8 yrs of service in Feb 2016 for about $41,000. When I with drew the money I paid Fed taxes on the amount. In 2016 when I bought back my years I paid for it with taxed money. Can I claim some of that money as a IRA contribution or some other deduction.
