I'm using TurboTax deluxe 2022. I did a Roth IRA conversion in 2022. I made non-deductible contributions in previous years. TurboTax is supposed to figure out how much of my conversion distributions were previously taxed. For the federal return TurboTax figures this out correctly and in the "Pension Wks-SP (Pensions, Annuities and IRA Withdrawls" the Column B (Federal Taxable Amount) is properly calculated and is less than the "Gross Distribution Amount".
However for the New Jersey state portion I expect to see the 'Previously taxed" portion of the conversion in Column E, Contributions Previously Taxed. However that value put there is 0. I would have expected it the same as the differentce between Column A and B.
I suspect a bug in Turbotax 2022 for this? I do have the latest updates as of 2023 Jan 7.
Use the federal taxable amount on your NJ tax return line 20a (this should happen automatically).
The non-taxable amount (20b) reduces your NJ basis for NJ tax purposes; keep records over the lifetime of your IRA.
That's the simplest way to handle it.
Yes, I agree with you. However it is not using the federal taxable amount on the NJ tax return line 20a automatically, I had to override that manually. So I think this is a bug with Turbotax 2022 not doing this automatically and it should be fixed.
