Why is my ROTH IRA rollover included in my total income? I have already paid the taxes on that money before it was originally deposited.

The employer contribution portion was pretax, so I understand that portion as I am rolling into a ROTH IRA.  But my contributions were from my gross wages.  Why add it twice?

Why do you think it is included?    Did you enter the 1099-R?   If you rolled the funds to another retirement account, the distribution is not taxable.
