Recharacterization and conversion in different amounts and different years for same tax year
In 12/20 - I contributed $3K to a new Roth IRA for tax year 2020
In 3/21- after filing tax return, realized I exceeded income limits
In 3/21 - recharacterized this $3K from Roth to tIRA (received Form 1099R - Code R)
In 3/21 - contributed additional $4K to this same tIRA (to max out $7K contribution - over 50)
In 5/21 - did back door Roth conversion of $7K from tIRA to Roth IRA (received Form 1099R - Code 2)
In 5/21 - filled out Form 8606 manually to reflect total basis in traditional IRA's for 2020 of $7K, Part I only
In 2/22 - contributed $7K to tIRA for tax year 2021
In 2/22 - did back door Roth conversion of $7K from tIRA to Roth IRA for tax year 2021
Question: Do I owe 6% penalty on the $3K for over-contribution in 2020 even if I recharacterized in 2021?
Question: Do I still need to amend 2020 tax return for the recharacterization if I already submitted Form 8606 manually? If I need to amend, I'm not sure how to answer the questions in Turbo Tax to reflect a recharacterization of $3K but a total basis in traditional IRA's of $7K.
Question: for tax year 2021, should I report the $7K contribution made in 2/22 on Form 8606 for 2021 to reflect a basis of $14K ($7K for 2020 + $7K for 2021), and then record the conversion in 2022?
I reviewed other postings to find similar situation, but could not find anything. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!
