I had two different IRA events occur in the same year.   I converted an amount from a Traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA.  My 1099-R from Vangard shows this as a gross distribution with $0 taxable amount, total distribution is checked, distribution code G, and IRA/SEP/SIMPLE is checked.  This account was an IRA for years and has both contributions and earnings before I converted it.  The taxable amount was not determined (however, the taxable amount not determined is NOT checked on the 1099) I completed a backdoor Roth transaction.  My 1099-R from Vangard shows this a gross distribution with the full amount as taxable.  Taxable amount not determined is checked, total distribution is checked, distribution code 2, and IRA/SEP/SIMPLE is checked The software appears to be generating one combined Form 8606, but only the $3k backdoor portion is appearing in Part I, while the $22k conversion is being treated as fully taxable and bypassing the basis calculation.   I am getting an error that for the conversion, box G is incorrect (it expects code 2 or 7).  I do not know if completed the conversion incorrectly in Vangard and need a corrected 1099-R OR if I am entering this incorrectly into TurboTax.
