How do I report Social Security and retirement benefits?

In most respects, coverage in a qualified employer retirement plan allows for tax-free contributions within certain limits. Certain salary reduction plans also allow elective deferrals of salary that are not taxed. Such retirement plans allow earnings to accumulate tax-free into the earnings are withdrawn. However, different rules apply to different types of plans, including the various types of IRAs (or individual retirement accounts).
