I see. That makes sense. I'll contact my custodian to see what they can do. In terms of not treating this as a conversion and instead as a contribution. Thanks for your help. 


You might have a problem though.  Many (maybe most) IRA custodians that answer the phone have little of no knowledge of tax law for these situations.  It can be a real hassle to escalate to a knowledgeable person. Good luck.
