I converted $45,000 from my "Rollover IRA" to my "Roth IRA". I also had my investment company withhold 10% tax. The 1099-R has lines 1 and 2a as $45,000, 2b taxable amount not determined selected (x), line 4 Federal income tax withheld as $4,500 and line 7 Distribution code as "7" and IRA/SEP/SIMPLE (x).
After entering the 1099-R, Turbo Tax populates line B4 of Form 1099-R with $45,000 but leaves lines B5 and B6 blank.
My understanding is the full $45,000 is treated as a distribution, but after withholding $4,500 for taxes, shouldn't TurboTax be recording the ROTH contribution as $40,500 on line B6? (or, am I over complicating the meaning of Line B6 since the difference was all Federal Taxes)
Thank you
Yes, line B6 should be $40,500. You will have to enter the amount the amount that was converted in the follow-up questions:
