Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You mentioned "excess Roth IRA contribution", does this mean though the contribution was first made to traditional IRA account, but since it's converted to Roth IRA, now I should consider all the contribution as Roth IRA contribution?

 

If the brokerage helped me to take out $2000 + earnings from the contribution I made in 2023, then when I do my 2023 return, can I just file as if I didn't make the excess contribution ($5500 contributed in 2023 for 2023 and converted to Roth IRA,  $1000 contributed in 2024 for 2023)? Then I also don't need to do a 2023 amendment next year.

 

With regard to "nondeductible contributions", I think I have to report since I cannot deduct from these contributions. But my understanding for the penalty is that as long as I take the excess amount out before tax deadline, there won't be any penalty. Then why does Turbotax still calculate the penalty? Is my understanding wrong?
