It looks like you are correct and the remaining $18.39 needs to be recharacterized, however it's taking my broker a long time to do this and I'm not confident it will be completed by April 15th. Aside from this I'm ready to file my taxes but I'm trying to figure out the best way to move forward without causing any additional headache. I'm planning on waiting until the 15th to file to see if the money has been recharacterized or not.
In the event that this $18.39 hasn't been recharacterized by April 15th I was thinking I would just enter that amount as contribution and pay the penalty(it's only $1). Is it ok if that amount gets recharacterized after the 15th and after I've paid the penalty and filed? If so, what would my next steps be? There would be a loss so I shouldn't owe any taxes on that amount.
