Will I pay state income taxes if I rollover a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA?
Curious if the amount you rollover from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA will be taxed as income on the local and state level, in addition to the federal level?

Retirement tax questions
The rollover from the traditional IRA to a Roth IRA is a taxable event on your federal taxes. The amount of the conversion is added to our current income, raising your adjusted gross income.
Most state income tax returns begin with your federal adjusted gross income. Therefore, the higher federal income amount will also result in a higher state tax owed.

Retirement tax questions
Curios why this is a taxable event if your funds in an Traditional IRA are after-tax funds, then isn't just your earnings taxable. Say I rolled over $2600 from a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and $2500 of it was after tax dollars and $100 was tax-free earnings then isn't just the $100 added to your income? I shouldn't get taxed twice.
