In Deductions and Credits - Traditional IRA and Roth IRA, How should I answer the below question or What does this question mean?
Tell Us How Much You Transferred
How much of the $7,000 you contributed to a traditional IRA for 2021 did you switch or "recharacterize" (this does not include conversions or rollovers) to a ROTH IRA (Learn More)
Amount switched from a Traditional IRA contribution to a Roth IRA Contribution:_____________________
Here is what Learn More says
This means that you first contributed money to a traditional IRA, but then later moved your money to a Roth IRA. This is sometimes referred to as a "recharacterization." A recharacterization such as this is different from a Roth conversion because your Roth IRA contribution is for the same year as the original traditional IRA contribution. So, the money would be both contributed to the traditional IRA and subsequently moved to the Roth IRA during the time period of January 1, 2021 until April 18, 2022 unless you file an extension in which case you would have until October 17, 2022.
Question: Is me moving after-tax contributions from traditional IRA to ROTH IRA the same year in 10 days' time recharacterization or ROTH conversion. If I answer $0.00 then I get my full refund. Just want to be sure, it is not recharacterization.
