Retirement tax questions

You said you recharactorized it, not withdrew it.

 

A recharacterization  is applying the Roth contribution as if it was a Traditional IRA in the first place and the Roth contribution never happened.    The only correct way to report it in with the explanation statement and the deductible Traditional IRA contribution on the 1040 schedule 1 or 8606 form for a non-deductible contribution  as I explained.
