Question: How do I determine taxable and non taxible IRA deposits, without proper records??

Like many people I didn’t keep good records. Some years I made non taxable deposits. Other years I had an employer plan and made only taxable deposits.

Answer: Your IRA provider should have been keeping track. When you made the deposits you should have specified if they were pre or post tax. If you did not specify then you have the burden of proof that they were post tax. If you cannot prove this there is a good likelihood that you will have to pay tax.
