Form 5329 - 6% Additional Tax for mischaracterized Roth Conversion
On my 2018 Return is mischaracterized a Backdoor Roth "conversion" as a "recharacterization" and have been paying a 6% additional tax on line 25 of Form 5329 on my return since 2018 since they believe it is an excess contribution. I filed an amended 2018 return one year ago and at the time the IRS was way behind. My amended return showed as being received on their website, and then it disappeared a few months ago. When I finally was able to speak to a human there, they told me they lost my return and I needed to resubmit, which I did 6 weeks ago, but it has not appeared in their system yet. I am completing my 2022 return now and the additional tax it is once again showing up. Should I just leave it as is or can I delete that form from my return? Also, will I need to file amended returns for all years since 2018?
