Retirement tax questions
I am inquiring about the correct entry for the prior year Roth IRA information. Several years ago, when you were first able to convert your traditional ira to a Roth and pay the corresponding tax over time my wife and I did that. In subsequent years, our income would not allow us to deposit directly into a Roth, so we deposited into a traditional ira on 12/30 and did a Roth back-door conversion on 12/31. Our life changed and we were not able to deposit in any ira for several years (we might have done so one year...I'll have to check). This year we are making a $7k deposit for each of us into our Roth ira's. TurboTax is asking for the prior year contributions. Should I enter all of the conversion amounts and maybe one year (I'll have to check for a $7k contribution each) prior to 2021? Thank you for your help,
