Recharacterization in 2022 for 2021 Tax Year

Hello, 

 

I found out my MAGI is over the limit for Roth Contributions. In Feb 2022, I recharacterized all my 2021 Roth contributions to a Traditional IRA. My total IRA contributions (Roth and Traditional were still under the limit). 

 

Question: I am using desktop app version of Turbo tax premier. In the deduction sections - do I put anything under the Roth Contributions or should I just I declare all contributions for 2021 under the Traditional? I called Vanguard and they said since the transaction was done in 2022, even though this is for 2021 tax year, I would not get any 1099-R or tax statements for this. 

 

If I declare Roth Contributions in Turbo Tax - can I have an option to say that the entire contribution was recharacterized?


Thank you everyone.
