Money contributed to Traditional IRA in 2024 (above Roth limits) and moved to Roth (conversion) prior to 4/15/25. How do I account for that on 2024 taxes?

Given the contribution happened in 2024 and the conversion happened in 2025 (for 2024 tax year), no 1099-R was generated. Unsure of how to report on 2024 taxes without 1099-R for 2024.

Money contributed to Traditional IRA in 2024 (above Roth limits) and moved to Roth (conversion) prior to 4/15/25. How do I account for that on 2024 taxes?

Since the conversion happened in 2025, you will use the 2025 1099-R (that you will receive at the beginning of next year) to report the conversion.

 

However, since you made the contribution for the 2024 tax year, you will report that contribution on your 2024 tax return, ensuring Form 8606 shows this nondeductible contribution.

 

Here are the steps to report the 2024 non-deductible contribution in TurboTax Online, from How do I enter a backdoor Roth IRA conversion?:

 

"Step 1:  Enter the Non-Deductible Contribution to a Traditional IRA

  1. Go to Deductions & Credits
  2. On the Your tax break screen, locate and select the Retirement and Investments section, then select Start or Revisit next to Traditional IRA and Roth IRA.
  3. On the Traditional IRA and Roth IRA screen, check the Traditional IRA box and select Continue.
  4. On the Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution? screen, select No.
  5. On the Tell Us How Much You Contributed screen, enter the amount contributed and select Continue.
  6. On the Did You Change Your Mind? screen, select No, then answer the questions on the following screens.
  7. When you reach the Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions screen:
  8. Select Yes, make part of my IRA contribution nondeductible.
  9. Enter the amount you contributed.
  10. If none of your contributions can be deducted, you won't see the option to make part of it nondeductible. Instead, you will see the message Income Too High To Deduct an IRA Contribution, and the full amount of your contribution will automatically be nondeductible.
  11. Select Continue.
  12. On the Your IRA Deduction Summary screen, review the info and select Continue.

To be clear, the Roth conversion will be reportable on your 2025 tax return.  Only the traditional IRA contribution goes on your 2024 tax return.
