NY state tax on IRA distribution

[doowntax]

I was a NJ resident when I made contributions to a Keogh account that I rolled over to a traditional IRA. The contributions were tax deductible for federal income tax, but not deductible for NJ state income tax. Now that I have to take IRA distributions, and having moved to NY, how can I avoid having to pay NY state tax on the distributions from the contributions that were already taxed by NJ.

I might be wrong but I doubt you can avoid NY tax. You pay tax base on where you live when you take the distribution.
