I forgot to do the Roth backdoor conversion during the calendar year - how do I avoid paying tax?
I usually do a Roth backdoor contribution each year. In 2022, I contributed to the traditional IRA, but then completely forgot to do the conversion. I did the conversion this year (2023), so I don't have a 1099-R for the distribution for the 2022 calendar year.
How can I avoid paying tax for what was a non-deductible contribution on after-tax money? TurboTax fills out form 8606 as though it's taxable. Is there any way around this? Or am I out of luck due to the mistake?
