    You would not answer yes if you are retired or if you no longer work for an employer that has a retirement plan.

    I would qualify that ...somewhat.....

    i.e. if you Retired during some date within 2024, and get a W-2 for 2024 with box 13 checked....then that applies as a YES, even if the W-2 was only for one day in 2024.   

     

    Of course, if you retired in 2023 or earlier, then it's likely a No, as long as you did not receive a 2024 W-2from any employer with box 13 checked on it.
