Retirement tax questions

Massachusetts does not tax ROTH IRA distributions provided certain conditions are met.  They basically follow the Federal standards. 

 

However,  Massachusetts does not allow a deduction for contributions to a traditional IRA.  You will have to keep track of your basis to get an exclusion when you take a distribution.  Massachusetts does NOT follow the Federal guidelines in this case.
