Retirement tax questions

Check with your financial institutions; the custodian can give you that information easily.   Or log in to your account(s) and look for Fair Market Value on 12/31/25.  TurboTax uses the December 31 balance to generate Form 8606 and to calculate:

 

  • What portion of your conversion is taxable
  • What portion is non-taxable

If you converted money from Traditional IRA to Roth IRA or did a backdoor Roth contribution, the IRS applies the pro-rata rule.   That means you cannot just convert the “after-tax” money.

The IRS looks at ALL your IRA balances combined as of 12/31.
