I rolled over $10,000 from 401k at Merrill to a Rollover IRA (essentially a traditional IRA) then converted the same amount to Roth IRA (both IRA accounts are at Vanguard). I received two 1099R: (1) One from Merrill with distribution code of 'G=Direct Rollover...'; (2) One from Vanguard with distribution code of '7=Normal Distribution'. I understand this is a taxable event.
I entered both 1099R in TurboTax. Under Merrill's 1099R, TurboTax asked "Was this Money Rolled Over to a Roth IRA"? Should I answer 'yes' or 'no' given the fund went to a Rollover IRA prior to Roth IRA conversion that happened at Vanguard (but the ultimate destination is a Roth IRA)? Thanks much!
