Retirement tax questions

Thank you for the explanation and terminology.  I did call TIAA to execute the rollover with no tax witheld.  I was surprised the rep wasn't able to tell me the total non deductible amount in that account.

 

So when I get a FORM 1099R, would it tell me what the earning from this account or its that my responsibility on my end?  Like I mentioned, I have the Form 8606 in 2019 Tax filing.

 

Thanks again.

It's all on you.  TIAA doesn't know the non-deductible amount because they can't see your tax return and they don't know whether or not you took a tax deduction.  They will provide a 1099-R that shows the total amount as a conversion to Roth IRA with code 2 or code 7 in box 7, and "taxable amount not determined" in box 2b.  You will use the information from the 2019 form 8606 to create a new form 8606 with your 2024 return that will document the basis and calculate the taxable part of the conversion.
