Ira Conversion

In 2020, I converted my IRA to a ROTH IRA. I only have 1 IRA. TurboTax said none of the proceeds, not just the 10% penalty, were taxable. The IRA was not inherited and no form 8606 was generated.

What code is in box 7.

What is in box 2a?

Is the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box checked?

 

Did you it in the 1099-R section and say you "moved: the money, then did a combination if things and entered the amount converted into the lower box?

Thanks Champ for the follow-up. Here is the info:

 

Box 7  = 2

Box 2a = equal to box 1 (don't want to give an exact amount as that should not matter)

Ira/Sep/Simple = checked

I don't follow your question regarding "moved:". I use the desktop version of TurboTax and am not sure what you are referring to. I answered the question that I moved it to another retirement account and move all the money. Once I entered the 1099-R, turbotax said I would not be taxed on it. When I answered the questions that I oved the entire amount TT again said I owed no taxes on it.

Did you enter it this way?

The short answer is no, I did not do it that way. I have a value of 2 for Box 7 and never got the screens you listed.

Form 1040 line 4a is fine but line 4b says rollover.
