Retirement tax questions

To clarify, do you show the $3.50 (most likely rounded to $4) on line 4b?

Did you have any basis from prior years entered? Was the value of all of your traditional/SEP/SIMPLE IRAs at the end of 2023 $0?

You can see the calculations on Form 8606 (or the Taxable IRA Distribution worksheet if you have a * next to line 13).

Please review these instructions  below.

7. Answer “No” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen
