Retirement tax questions

Thank you for your reply.

 

A dump question is, what is the difference between recharacterization and conversion? I am getting a bit confused now. If I simply moved my money (contribution plus earnings) from the traditional IRA to ROTH IRA, is that a conversion or recharacterization? I found some people saying that conversion is from traditional IRA to ROTH IRA and recharacterization is from ROTH IRA to traditional IRA.

 

I only have one 1099-R and the box 2a is exactly as box 1 with box 7 shows "2" (early distribution). In the Turbutax, "Tell Us the Value of Your Traditional IRA", there are 3 question:

 

Value of your Traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs on Dec. 31 2021

Outstanding Rollovers

Outstanding Recharacterizations

 

Should I fill 0 for all three of them?

Thank you again.
