Retirement tax questions

Ok, fair enough.  Only thought the other person might also benefit by moving the money back to trad'l IRA.  To avoid the high taxable event.  I did have the same thing, with back door contributions and Turbo calculating a huge tax on the money.  This year we had to move my husbands 401k into a trad'l IRA.  Doing so created a market value as of Dec. 31, 2017 in that account.  Therefore, no longer allowing back door Roth conversions and taxing it over $1,500.  We had done that contribution and conversion to Roth before we realized we would have to move the 401k.  Now we are moving it back to traditional account, so I will mark it as recharacterized.  Thanks.
