I am using TurboTax Premier version, 2021, and followed the instruction posted by your expert in previous questions, as the following:
- entered form1099R. make sure there is a taxable amount listed in Box 2A
- Make sure the IRA box is checked between Box 7 . Box 8 (Other) has no entry.
- Answer the question on the next screen and continue
- the 4th question should ask Let us know about the distribution. Select Traditional IRA
- Then move through the next question about inheriting and then the next screen will ask, what you did with the money.
- Indicate you rolled it over into another retirement account
- Then another drop down will appear. Here you will say you converted to a Roth
-
Problem Occurred at this step. There is NO drop down to select and no way to tell TurboTax the money was converted into ROTH account!
Also, some money in this conversion was recharacterized from excessive ROTH contribution and that part was Nondeductible. That is, I should not pay tax on it. I need to use form 8606 to adjust this amount. How to do it? (should I open a new question for form 8606?) Please help.
Thanks!!
