Get your taxes done using TurboTax
To confirm, you didn't recharacterize the Roth IRA as a traditional IRA contribution but instead requested the withdrawal of an excess contribution plus earnings and then made a new contribution for 2022 to the traditional IRA which you converted in 2023.
No, you cannot make another traditional IRA contribution for 2022, since you made the max contribution for 2022 when you made the new contribution to the traditional IRA. But you might be able to make a traditional IRA contribution for 2023.
You will enter the nondeductible traditional IRA contribution for 2022 on your 2022 tax return and have a 2022 Form 8606 with a basis on line 14 (which will be carried over to your 2023 tax return).
- Open your return
- Click “Deductions &Credits” on the top
- Click "I'll choose what to work on"
- Scroll down to “Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions” and click “Start”
- Select “traditional IRA”
- Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution?”
- Enter the amount you contributed
- Answer “No” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen
- Answer the next questions until you get to “Any Nondeductible Contributions to Your IRA?” and select “Yes” if you had nondeductible contributions before this tax year
- Enter your basis in the Traditional IRA from your 2021 Form 8606 line 14 (if you had a basis in the prior year)
- On the “Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions” screen choose “Yes, make part of my IRA contribution nondeductible” and enter the amount (if you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a warning and then a screen saying $0 is deductible).
If you want to avoid amending your 2022 tax return you will enter the 2023 Form 1099-R with codes P and J for the return of the excess contributions plus earnings:
- Click "Federal Taxes" on the top and select "Wages & Income"
- Click "I'll choose what to work on"
- Scroll down and click "Start" next to "IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan (1099-R)"
- Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2022?"
- Select "I'll type it in myself"
- Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution plus earning)
- Box 2a enter the earnings
- Box 7 enter P and J
- Click "Continue"
- On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2023 Form 1099-R.
- Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
- Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Another reason" if you are over 59 1/2 (if you are under 59 1/2 and removed the excess after December 29, 2022, then enter it next to "Corrective Distributions made on or after December 31, 2022")
Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2021" but you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2022.
Next year on your 2023 tax return to report the conversion:
- Click "Federal Taxes" on the top and select "Wages & Income"
- Click "I'll choose what to work on"
- Scroll down and click "Start" next to "IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan (1099-R)"
- Answer "Yes" to the question "Did You Have Any of These Types of Income?"
- Click "I'll Type it Myself"
- Choose "Form 1099-R, Withdrawal of Money from 401(k) Retirement Plans, Pensions, IRAs, etc."
- Click "Continue" and enter the information from your 1099-R
- Answer questions until you get to “What Did You Do With The Money” and choose “I moved it to another retirement account”
- Then choose “I did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out money.” and enter the amount next to "Amount converted to a Roth IRA account"
- On the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen click "continue"
- Answer "yes" to "Any nondeductible Contribution to your IRA?" if you had any nondeductible contributions in prior years.
- Answer the questions about the basis from line 14 of your 2022 Form 8606 and the value of all traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs
