Retirement tax questions

Yes they must issue a 1099-R but not until Jan 2021 if converted in 2020.  That will go on your 2020 tax return next year.

 

Any conversion after Dec 31, 2019 is a 2020 conversion.

 

You can *contribute* to a 2019 IRA up to the 2020 due date of the return but conversion are on a calendar year basis.
