Retirement tax questions

That is a distribution - not a recharacterization.

 

I assume you mean that you made a non-deductible Traditional IRA contribution and the *converted* that (not recharactorized) to a Roth IRA.

 

When did you made the non-deductible contribution?  Did you enter it into the IRA contribution interview and specify that it is to be non-deductible. (It would appear that you did not).
