ITA home This interview will help you determine if your distribution from a traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA is taxable. This topic doesn't address the return of an IRA contribution or the return of a prior year's excess contribution. Information you'll need Whether the cost basis has been recovered. Your cost basis consists of previously taxed amounts. Previously taxed amounts include nondeductible contributions (or amounts that were taxed when rolled over). If a contribution was made in the same year as the distribution, whether a deduction, if taken, was limited. The tool is designed for taxpayers who were U.S. citizens or resident aliens for the entire tax year for which they're inquiring. If married, the spouse must also have been a U.S. citizen or resident alien for the entire tax year. For information about nonresidents or dual-status aliens, please see International taxpayers.
