Retirement tax questions
The only way that it can say your contribution was too high would be if you entered something in to the IRA contribution interview. A Roth *conversion * is NOT a contribution and ONLY is enter into the 1099-R interview.
Go to the IRA contribution interview for Roth and remove any entry you made. The 1099-R interview asks if you moved the money to another retirement account - say yes and then say that it was converted to a Roth.
Go here and if the Roth box is checked, uncheck it and press [continue] to remove the entry's.
Enter IRA contributions here:
Federal Taxes,
Deductions & Credits,
I’ll choose what I work on (if that screen comes up),
Retirement & Investments,
Traditional & Roth IRA contribution.
OR Use the "Tools" menu (if online version under My Account) and then "Search Topics" for "ira contributions" which will take you to the same place.
