For TY 2023 I did a Traditional to Roth conversion. T Rowe Price handled it all in house I never received the money. They sent me a 1099R for the conversion. Was shown as Distribution code 7- Normal distribution.
It got into my tax return and I paid additional taxes. Knew that was going to happen so that's fine.
Problem was that the interview process in TurboTax didn't steer me to the correct place to say it was a conversion so a Form 8606 was never generated. I was going to do another conversion this year (2025, nothing in 2024) and in my reading something mentioned the 8606 so I looked at my 2023 return but the form was not there.
TurboTax Help was useless, had to come to the forums to find someone who explained how to get to the correct place in the interview process, I am apparently not the first person to have this issue as a lot of people were asking the question. Went into 2023 TT (still installed on my PC) to properly account for the distribution and lo and behold a form 8606 has now been generated.
So now I have a 2023 Form 8606. Can I just mail that in or do I need to reprint the entire tax return and submit it as an amended return? Is there a penalty for filing it late (I had an extension so my 2023 1040 was due and filed by October 15th 2024)?
Thanks for any help.
