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.
