Retirement tax questions

Hi Dana,

 

Really appreciate your reply. 

 

I called TurboTax and they wanted to charge me $150 for each year to amend, so I will look to try to do this on my own. 

 

I've already filed my taxes for 2020 a few weeks ago (prior to realizing this Roth IRA mistake). So I think I need to be amending 2019 and 2020. Per my talk with Schwab, they said I should be able to recharacterize 2021 to a traditional IRA, so shouldn't have any issues. (Let me know if your understanding is the same).

 

I will follow your steps below to review my 2019 and 2020 contributions. Do let me know if you have any additional tips/input on this. It is much appreciated.

 

Thanks.
