IRA: For States With State Taxes, With Respect To Treasuries

I live in a high state tax place.

When I compare cd rates to treasury rates within a regular taxable account that is NOT an ira, I always take into consideration the fact that interest earned on treasuries are not taxed in my state but interest earned on cds are taxed in this state. I understand this is appropriate.

However, I just heard through the grapevine that when , in a traditional IRA account, I would be mistaken to adjust the treasury rate, Is this correct, and if so, what is the reasoning?

Thank you.

Sorry for my confusion…but financial instruments in an IRA are not recognized then for tax purposes…upon distribution there is a tax depending in part whether those funds were pre or post tax funds. What am I missing ? Thanks
Want to delete everything…there is still time.  :)
