Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Thanks DianeW777.  I guess I'm still confused. 

I saw this advice in another thread

"Next year (2018) when you receive a 2017 1099-R with a code "R" in box 7 reporting this, you can ignore it since you would just have to amend 2016 and report it the exact same way - the 1099-R only informs the IRS of the recharacterization".

 

This seems to mimic our situation in that the 1099-R is for the recharacterization that was done for a 2019 contribution.  If I go through TT and enter the 1099-R it then prompts for an explanation which was already provided in the 2019 tax filing.  If I do it again here, the implication is this is for a 2020 event - seemingly doing it twice.

Compounding the situation is that another recharacterization for the 2020 income (even though the contribution was reduced) is pending.
