Retirement tax questions

No, my answer remains the same. If you had taxes withheld in a conversion then you need to replace these taxes from other funds, otherwise the taxes withheld are deemed as distributed and will be taxable income subject to the early withdrawal penalty. The funds used to pay the taxes didn't make it to the Roth IRA, therefore they were distributed.
