Get your taxes done using TurboTax
this is from the following webpage
The distribution is deemed to satisfy the RMD, so your RMD has been completed. However, the RMD amount was not eligible for rollover and became an excess regular Roth contribution. Explain to the Roth custodian what happened and request a return of the excess amount with allocated earnings. The earnings will be taxable, but will be small so this is not costly. However, it is messy to report on your tax return because what you report will vary from the 1099R for the conversion. You will only report the allowable amount of the conversion on Form 8606, so the total taxable amount will be your allowed conversion amount (the excess converted over the RMD) plus the excess contribution amount (really the RMD) plus the earnings on the excess amount returned to you.
You can satisfy your total RMD from just one account, but you must complete that before converting any additional amounts. In other words, the total RMD must be withdrawn from any account you wish, and afterwards you can convert more from any account you wish.
