In 2024, I contributed directly $7000 to a Roth IRA, then realized I was over the max income to contribute to the Roth IRA. To resolve that problem, I recharacterized the $7000 to a Traditional IRA, and then did a backdoor Roth IRA contribution by converting the $7000 in the Traditional IRA back to the Roth IRA.   Unfortunately, I made another mistake. In 2025, just before I filed my taxes for year 2024, I (mistakenly) contributed an extra $1000 to my Traditional IRA for 2024 contribution year instead of the intended 2025 contribution year putting me at $8000 of IRA contributions for 2024.   To fix this, in August 2025, I paid the IRS the 6% penalty of the extra $1000 contributed, and then withdrew the $1000. I also amended my 2024 taxes to account for the extra contribution.   Now, I'm trying to figure out what I need to put on my 2025 taxes. If it helps, I received two 1099-Rs from my stock broker, one for Traditional IRA and one for Roth IRA. The Traditional IRA 1099-R states in box 1 that my gross distribution is $8000. The Roth IRA 1099-R states in box 1 that my gross distribution is $1000. As a reminder, I did a backdoor Roth IRA conversion in the 2025 tax year as well.   How do I account for all of this in TurboTax? Do I just enter in both 1099-Rs? Do I just do what TurboTax advises on how to account for a backdoor Roth IRA conversion, because it appears their directions only advise on entering information from your Traditional IRA. I'm just really confused. Any help would be great! Thanks.
