Retirement tax questions
Thank you! That really helps. It's good to know that this TurboTax page corresponds to Line 22, and it makes sense based on the IRS instructions that Roth roll-ins are purposefully included. I guess then I'm a bit confused at how TurboTax seems to be inconsistently using the word "contributions" across its different pages, and wonder if this page needs to be updated for clarity. Here's what I mean.
In an earlier page, TurboTax asks, "Roth IRA Contributions / Did [name] make a Roth IRA contribution for 2024?" In this section, it seems to be using the classic definition of a *direct* contribution (and not roll-ins), as this page is presumably relevant to the fact that there's a yearly contribution limit and/or there's a tax implication based on MAGI limits.
But on this "Roth IRA Contributions prior to 2024" page for calculating cost basis, it's using the same word "contributions" — but as you pointed out, it actually includes more than direct contributions. Perhaps this page should be updated to say something along the lines of "Roth IRA contributions or roll-ins from a designated Roth 401(k), Roth 403(b), Roth SEP, or Roth SIMPLE account"? Is there a way to submit that request/feedback to the product team?
