Gross income 22,000 on 1099r, plus 40,000 of my income added, total of 62,000, 1099r on the 22,000, has a box 17 of 11,980.00, a pick up contribution, do I pay tax on that which is part o the 22,000, or does it get deducted?
Deducted on the fed or on md state tax? Thanks for your help and time. By the way, I may use tax act, program like turbo tax, is that safe to use on the computer? Thank you,, Richard...........I have a code 2 in box 7, wife went on disability at age 58

On MY TaxAct program (which, by the way, is perfectly safe for your computer), BOX 17 of the Form 1099-R shows local distributions. That indicates for locality that has income taxes (like New York City) how much of the $22,000 is taxable by the locality.

It is NOT a direct deduction.

However, the taxes paid to the locality IS an itemized deduction on Schedule A.

Interesting, it goes under tax paid on line 8? Thank you, hope the tax act picks it up OK
?. thank you

Glad to help!
