Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The value in the Wages & Income section (used on Form 8606 when you take a traditional IRA distribution/make a conversion) is:

 

  • The value that is shown on your statement on December 31 plus
  • Outstanding rollovers plus
  • Outstanding recharacterization

You don't include the contributions made in 2021 for 2020 in the value.

 

Yes, the entries on your IRA WORKSHEET are correct. This is a governmental worksheet.

 

When TurboTax asks about the value in the Deduction & Credit section it is used on Form 5329 to calculate the 6% excess penalty. One year TurboTax was asking this question always when you entered a contribution even if you didn't have an excess contribution.
