When an investment is funded with pre-tax funds, there is no further deduction; they were already provided before income taxes were computed on them. That's why distributions will be taxable.

Trying to deduct pre-tax funds would be double-dipping.

The investment funds were included in taxable income which is unusual. I asked the client to follow up with the employer, which is the Federal Gov, to determine why the funds are taxable.
