Retirement tax questions

TurboTax presently has a bug where it is treating an indirect Roth conversion as subject to penalty.

If no taxes were withheld from the code 1 distribution, you can work around the problem by selecting code 2 on TurboTax's 1099-R form instead of code 1.  Because there were no taxes withheld, the details of what you selected are not transmitted to the IRS.  (If taxes were withheld, I can provide alternative workarounds, but they will involve paper filing by mail.)

I would not wait for a fix to be provided by TurboTax; TurboTax Product Quality has so far not acknowledged the existence of this serious bug.
