Retirement tax questions

In NJ, total contributions minus total withdrawals is only applicable to the first year calculation for a Traditional IRA. 

If you are doing backdoor Roth IRA contributions,converting 100% each time,  every year can be considered a "first year"

If you are intending to report an amount of withdrawn Roth earnings, the propose action is a workaround  to trick TurboTax into the correct result on your NJ tax return.

 

 

That should not be necessary, since 1040 4b should carry over to NJ 20a immediately.
