Retirement tax questions

No - your Roth contributions have already been taxed.    Massachusetts wants to know the amounts that were already taxed by MA in prior years, so MA doesn’t tax them again.   

 

Massachusetts taxes income differently than federal law.  They do NOT allow a deduction for traditional IRA contributions.   Previously taxed contributions are what make up your MA basis.
