Retirement tax questions
"Did I blow it twice, ...?"
Probably. Moving these funds to the Roth IRA constitutes a taxable rollover to the Roth IRA (effectively the same as a Roth conversion from a traditional IRA but reported differently on Form 5498) and the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 makes such a rollover irrevocable. No recharacterization of such a rollover is permitted.
What is the code in box 7 of the Form 1099-R from the 401(k)?
Is there a nonzero amount in box 2a?
Is there any tax withholding shown in box 4?
Is there any amount shown in box 5?
What box of the Form 5498 for the Roth IRA shows this amount?
With regard to dealing with the consequences, does the amount exceed the amount that you are eligible to have contributed to a traditional IRA for 2022 as a regular contribution? (It's possible that the result is a taxable distribution from the 401(k) and an independent contribution to the traditional IRA.)
