Retirement tax questions

All contributions to a traditional IRA from you are using "after-tax dollars". The question is whether or not you deducted the contribution to the IRA  (this would be normal for a traditional IRA). If you deducted the IRA contribution, then the money in the IRA is pre-tax. Only if you did not deduct the contributions would the dollars remain after-tax.
