Retirement tax questions

If you have a traditional IRA that you contribute to, Massachusetts does NOT allow you to reduce your income like you can on the Federal Return.

 

  • So, all of the CONTRIBUTIONS that you made over the years to a MA Traditional IRA are PREVIOPUSLY TAXED BY MASSACHUSETTS.
  • As you withdraw money from the IRA you will get credit for the Pre-Taxed amount.
  • All of your previous withdrawals (From those IRAs) will not be taxed in Massachusetts up to the PREVIOUSLY TAXED number.
