As I stated above the value 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.
Your wife had an outstanding recharacterization therefore her value has the $2,500 characterization included.
