Retirement tax questions

Yes, you will exclude the non-deductible IRA contribution from being taxed by entering the basis of your Traditional IRA account.

 

This can be done in the Personal > Deductions and Credits > Retirement and Investments > Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions section of your return.  

 

As you get started in that section, check the box that you have a Traditional IRA and go through the screens until you see a question about 'any non-deductible contributions' to your IRA.  Check 'yes' and then enter the total basis of the account as of the end of 2021.  Remember, this is only asking for the non-deductible contributions that were made, not the total value of the IRA.  

 

Use the following steps to jump directly to the section where you will enter the Traditional IRA basis:

 

  • On the top row of the TurboTax screen, click on Search  
  • This opens a box where you can type in “IRA contributions” (be sure to enter exactly as shown here) 
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to IRA contributions
  • Click on the blue “Jump to IRA contributions” link
