Retirement tax questions

recharacterization: the original amount to the first IRA you report as contribution to the second IRA, earnings are ignored.
report this on your tax return for the year during which the contribution was made.

For Roth conversion purposes, you probaby want to make the contribution non-deductible.

 

 A conversion to Roth, backdoor or otherwise. is not a contribution. Don't enter it as such.
