Question: At 4:58... Why does Box 2a show $6,000 as Taxable Amount? This threw me off, because my 1099-R is blank in Box 2a, and I understood this shouldn't be marked as taxable. Could you let us know? Thanks!
This is supremely helpful. So so glad to have this aide for this year - last year I couldn't find anything this straightforward. Thanks a bunch for providing this!
I'm a CFP® pro and a lot of my clients do backdoor Roth IRAs. This is best video I can find explaining how to input the information into TurboTax. Thank you!
Thank you very much for this step-by-step explanation on back door Roth input using TurboTax. You saved me $100 by not needing to upgrade to Live assistance!
It's about time somebody came on here with something different (DIY). Instead of all that baby stuff that is a given.😍 Next, they will all be copying and learning something from you💙💙💛💛💙💙
Contributed to my 2023 roth via backdoor in January of this year and will be contributing again for 2024. Realize now this is the “late” backdoor roth and it is easier to contribute in the same calendar year. Will I follow these same steps next year and just enter the single 1099-R for both years? This video was very helpful. Thank you!

Thank you so much! Could you help out how to choose these options if 1) I contributed at the end of year and converted it at the beginning of next year😢, and 2) contributed for previous year at the beginning of a year and converted right after. Now I know it’s not good practice…any help would be appreciated!!
Great information. I was wondering if you had done or could do a video using Turbo Tax to do a Roth Conversion for planning purposes. My scenario is that I am now retired and want to do some what if analysis using Turbo Tax to see what the tax implication might look like if I converted say $100k from my 401k to a Roth IRA (that I have setup). I know it would not be perfect, but would at least give those of us considering this an idea on what to expect.
This is great video. How do we deal with excess contributions? For example, I have contributed $7500 (>50yo allowed limit in 2023) to traditional IRA in my Vanguard account, but before I was able transfer the money to Roth (backdoor), the value became $7500.90. As a result I have contributed 90 cents more and converted to Roth ($7500.90 in Roth Ira). How can I enter this in my Turbotax? I am guessing I have to pay taxes on that 90 cents.

I don't understand the tracking question. I've been doing Roth conversions for years, so I should check yes? I have an 8606 on every tax return for the last 5 years,
So I'm curious how this would change for the following instance, I made my non-deductible contribution of 6,500 for 2023 and 7,000 for 2024 in Mar of 24, and converted it in Mar of 24. Would I fill out of the non-deductible contribution for 2023, but won't have a 1099-R for 2023? Also would my end balalnce on Dec 31, 2023 still be 0?
You wont have a 1099-R for 2023 as the conversion happened in 2024. You will need to report the $6,500 contribution and make it non-deductible for 2023. Then report the $7,000 contribution and make it non-deductible on the 2024 tax return next year.
hello, great video, thank you, how about if I want to do for both me and my wife? just double the numbers is all? or do you it separate, 2 times? thanks
You should associate the contributions to each. For example $6k to you and $6k to your wife. This will generate 2 separate form 8606s. You do not just double the amounts. Hope this makes sense.
Is there a way to do this with money that was withdrawn and transferred before April 15, but I do not have a 1099 for it because the withdrawal took place in 2024?
Can you also run a scenario where you intended to do a conversion, but due to how different brokerages work and make the funds available to be converted, you end up acruing a small interest in the tradtional IRA account. Nothing major, but a few dollars.
PLEASE HELP!!!! I made conversions from TradIRA to ROTH IRA for 2023 in 2023 and 2024 on Jan 29, 2024 so it is considered a late backdoor conversion. so would i include the 2024 conversion for this year's tax??? $500 for 2023 was converted to ROTH IRA, then $200 was converted in Jan 2024 for the 2023 year!! I am sooooo confused, please help!!!
thank you for this video! my husband and I are married filing jointly. We both have the retirement box checked in box 13 on our W-2's. Our AGI is between $228,000 and $229,000. We both contributed $6500 each to ROTH IRA's in 2023 and $7000 each to ROTH IRA's for 2024. Question 1: is there a way to change the 2023 contributions to traditional and then change back to a backdoor ROTH? Question 2: is it too late to do something about the 2024 ROTH contributions? We have never encountered this situation before where our AGI was too high to not be able to contribute the maximum to ROTH IRA's.

@@eataxresolutions thank you for your reply! It sounds like we need to re-characterize the FULL amounts of each of our 2023 ROTH IRA's and the FULL amounts of the 2024 ROTH IRA's. not even sure if partial amounts are allowed. How long do I need to wait to then re-characterize each of these back into ROTH IRA's?

What happens if you earn interest into your IRA.. am I supposed to pay tax on that interest that is left over in the IRA instead of marking it zero? I only ask because you have to wait a day to convert it and waiting that one day adds interest that is left over in the IRA.
@@eataxresolutions I thought you only get taxed when you take that money out of IRA account? If not then, should you also just convert that earned income to make sure you don't get taxed on it every year?
I am doing a "Current year conversion from a traditional to a Roth IRA". How do I determine if all or part of the pension income is excludable on my state return?
Generally the States follow the federal rules so whatever was excluded from income on the federal return should be excluded on your state return. What state are you in?

This is helpful. I'm doing my 2023 return and I made the contribution in January 2024 for 2023. I contributed and converted in January so do I only do the IRA contribution part for this 2023 return and then in 2024 put in the 1099-R right for this conversion and the 2024 one? Will they tax me in 2023 since I didn't convert it over in 2023? I should have done this earlier.
Great question. You should include the contribution on your 2023 return and "Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions" and make it "nondeductible". This will produce the Form 8606 and next year when you get the 1099-R, it will reconcile with the Form 8606. This happens alot

Last year 2023, I deposited $6.5k in my traditional IRA and converted backdoor into RothIRA , however after conversion I came to know the traditional IRA earned 1c in the account. Right now my Traditional IRA has 1c balance. My question is: For the current year should I transfer $6999.99 to Traditional IRA and move the total balance ($6999.99 + .01 = $7k ) to RothIRA or I should keep that 1 cent untouched in Traditional IRA and fund additional $7k in Traditional IRA and then covert $7k it to Roth. Will I have any penalty situation here either way?
