I'm a substitute teacher in WA & I paid 12 years of back pay into my TRS 401a using after-tax funds. Can I deduct this & if so, how?

This is a 401A investment account.

    No.  If you bought retirement credits with after-tax money, then a portion of your retirement benefit will be non-taxable to account for this.  The plan payer will indicate this on your 1099-R when you begin withdrawing funds.
