After you file

I used Vanguard,and in the traditional IRA the cash account is the settlement fund. Unfortunately it gained 7 cents by the time (which was the next day) their system allowed me to move the money into my Roth IRA account.

I also called them to move the money into my Roth IRA but I was told to wait for the money to settle before I could move it.

However for my first 8606 form which will be 2015 form 8606, on what line do I place the actual amount converted, the small earning of 7 cents e.t.c.

I'll need help in filling form 8606 for 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019.

Thanks in advance for your reply


No.   You enter the amount of the non-deductible contribution ONLY on the 8606 form.    Any earnings converted are taxable in the conversion by 7 cents rounds to zero.

 

If you also has non-deductible contributions for years 2015-2019 and did not file 8606 forms at the time then you must file a 8606 for each year.

 

Include  cover letter with an explanation and request a waiver of the $50 penalty  for each missed year.

 

You can obtain blank 8606 forms and instructions for each year here:
