The new SCRIE renewal form asks for specific income information, and explicitly asks for "IRA Earnings."
The worksheet explicitly says that this does NOT mean distributions, and refers to one's "end of year statement." However, my brokerage (where I have my IRA) does not issue end of year statements. I have a bunch of stock holdings that don't generate much income anyway. I called and the brokerage had never heard of an end of the year statement.
Is anyone familiar with this? I have never had to declare IRA-related stuff before. I've had to take a bunch of distributions this year, so this is a make-or-break issue with me. I called 311 twice on this and they don't know. I spoke to a social worker at a senior center (referred to me by 311) ditto.
Is it possible that, despite what they say, they mean distributions? If so, I am screwed.
