Retirement tax questions

Since your contributions are made "after-tax," your retirement plan may be set up as a Roth 403(b).

If so, you cannot deduct your 403(b) contributions on your tax return. These contributions are already accounted for on your W-2 in box 12:

  • Any pre-tax portion has code E; and
  • The after-tax portion has code BB (Roth 403(b)).

By design, the Roth 403(b) contributions are not deductible.
