Retirement tax questions

Unfortunately,   Wendy is not correct.

 

You should enter the $700.

 

Massachusetts does not give you a tax deduction on traditional IRA's like you get from the federal.  You pay the tax when you put contributions into the IRA.

 

Therefore, every contribution that you made to an IRA while you lived is Massachusetts was already taxed.
