Help with Split-Year Backdoor Roth IRA Filing
When filing 2022 taxes last April( 2023), I noticed that I exceeded the Roth income limits. I opened a tIRA and recharacterized the 2022 $6k, and then converted back to Roth to complete the backdoor Roth. On my form 8606, I had the following: Line1:6000, Line3:6000, Line14:6000. This is correct for a split-year to the best of my knowledge.
Fast forward to 2024 and I received two form 1099-R’s for 2023, one with distribution code 2 and one with code R. I have entered both in the tax software, and appear to not be getting taxed on that backdoor roth. I did not have an income phaseout for 2023, so i only contributed $6500 to my Roth, and should be able to do so moving forward without needing to utilize backdoor method. I noticed that no form 8606 was populated for this tax year. Is this correct, should I have an 8606 this year? Will this cause a possible audit issue due to the prior year split-year backdoor roth? Should I have only needed to enter the 1099-Rs, even both of them? Appreciate any help or guidance that can be given.
