Retirement tax questions

Hi Vanessa,

 

My employer does NOT withhold wages for the SIMPLE IRA. Instead the financial institution withdraws them from my (and all other participating employee's) checking accounts on a twice-monthly basis. So in other words, similar to how my Traditional IRA used to be, it's initially taken post-tax but (hopefully) reported in my tax returns in order to lessen gross income.

 

Are you saying that none of these are tax deductible?
