Retirement tax questions

As to the "Attachment" see the image of a link image.pngbelow the text of the answer.

As to preventing paying taxes on already taxed contributions (made with post-tax monies - typical given MA treatment of IRAs), it is really important to keep a running record of the total amount.  Luckily, TurboTax started doing this in the filing process a few years ago, so if you report the total pre-tax contributions and then year-by-year report the distributions, it does the job.  However, as to prior to that, unfortunately you can either take a "Best" guess that is "Reasonable" or else forego that and pay on monies already taxed
