Retirement tax questions
First, did you have any prior balance in a traditional IRA?
Second, did you convert the entire balance of your traditional IRA to a Roth at the same time?
If the answers are No, and Yes, then you report what you did in 2 steps.
Step 1, a non-deductible contribution to a traditional IRA of $6000.
Step 2, a conversion to a Roth IRA of $6017. Since you have a basis of $6000, only the $17 is taxable.
If you had a prior IRA balance, or if you did not convert the entire IRA to a Roth IRA, things get much messier. Let us know.
