ROTH conversion

[Hebb]

I mistakenly converted all my 2024 RMD directly to Roth IRA, How do I fix this mistake?

To correct this mistake, call the company or bank that holds your Roth IRA and tell them that you need to request a "return of excess contribution".  This will allow them to return the funds (plus any earnings on those funds) to you with the proper reporting of the transaction.  Be sure to request this prior to the tax filing deadline of April 15 in order to avoid any penalties for the contribution. 

If you have withdrawn it, or will withdraw it, before this deadline you can enter data into TurboTax as if it never happened.  You will receive a 1099-R in 2026 to report the transaction on your 2025 tax return, but it shouldn't cause any tax issues for you in either year.
