Retirement tax questions

A recharactorization  of a 2020 contribution is still a 2020 contribution treated as if the origination contribution had never happened and it was to the other IRA instead.   It would no longer be deductible.   There is no tax on a contribution.     Now if you *convert* the Traditional IRA to a Roth in 2021, then that will be a taxable Traditional IRA distribution/conversion.
