Retirement tax questions

 

dmertz,

 

So thinking out loud for the last time.  Can I request a rollover of the $1500 basis from the deferred account (403b) to a Roth IRA?  Then next year when I get a 1099-R, I could attach an explanation (the option on TurboTax regarding incorrect 1099).   If I couldn't explain it, I would just pay the tax on the amount of the rollover and at least have something to show that I made an effort to correct that mistake (if an audit comes up)?

 

 

Is that doable or should I just leave it as it and move on with life (like you said earlier it could get worst trying to fix it)?

 

   -I would continue filing the 2024 tax using the original 1099-R received with "G"  on box 7

 

Thanks again!
