I am being charged a penalty for "contributing" to my roth IRA but it was actually a traditional IRA rollover. How do I fix this?
Go back to your 1099-R entry to make sure you entered the information correctly. Usually when you have a direct rollover, your form will have code G in box 7. If you didn't have a direct rollover and your code is different, keep going through your interview. There'll be questions about if you roll over any of your distributions.
