I transferred 538 shares of X stock, 1997 shares of Y stock
and 304 shares of Z stock on 12/21/17 from my IRA to my Roth IRA to constitute
a $89,127.85 IRA to Roth conversion. The
end of day value of my Roth account on 12/21/17 was $271,895.67. I now realize I would be better off tax wise
if I had only converted $83,346.85, and want to recharacterize $6,781. The value of my Roth account today is
$290,856.34. I want to have the
custodian transfer shares of Y company stock back to the IRA to accomplish the
partial recharacterization. If the price
of Y shares on the day of the original transfer was $8.74/share, and the price
today is $8.95/share, how many shares of Y company stock do I need to have the
custodian transfer between accounts to effect a $6,781 recharacterization?
