After you file

Wage earners  contribute to Trad IRA all the time with no consideration for Roth. It is a tax-deferred account.

Since your contributions were not deducted, you can convert it all to a Roth IRA at no tax.

Only any earnings on your contributed money would be taxed in that scenario.

You have to get your Form 8606 issue resolved first.
