Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You can ignore the 2024 Form 1099-R with code R since entering a 2024 Form 1099-R with code R on your 2023 return will not change anything in your return.

 

You should have reported the recharacterization on your 2023 return with these steps:

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions” 
  2. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
  3. Select “Traditional IRA
  4. Answer ‘Yes” on the “Traditional IRA Contribution” screen
  5. Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution
  6. Enter the Traditional IRA contribution amount 
  7. Answer “Yes” to the recharacterized question on the “Switch from a Traditional To a Roth IRA?” screen and enter the contribution amount (no earnings or losses) on the next screen.
  8. TurboTax will ask for an explanation statement where it should be stated that the original $xxx.xx plus $xxx.xx earnings (or loss) were recharacterized.
