Retirement tax questions

Token 1194569

 

The federal return does not increase my tax due to the ROTH conversion is covered by the basis in my trad IRA.

 

However, this year, the state tax increases due to the roth conversion. Note: Alabama does have a new form this year - RS form. Does the state not look at the 8606 forms to know that i have a basis?

 

Thanks

Doug
