I rolled over $7,000 through a qualifying 529 to Roth IRA trustee-to-trustee transfer, but FreeTaxUSA reports this as an excess contribution because of my MAGI. However, 529 to Roth IRA contributions can be made regardless of MAGI provided they're qualifying (under the annual limit, under the $35,000 lifetime limit, etc.)…
Hi, last year on 1/3/25 I made an excess $7000 Roth IRA contribution for the 2024 tax year. I did not remove the $7000 from the Roth IRA account and paid the penalty on my 2024 taxes. I am now filing my 2025 taxes and am still incurring a tax penalty for the $7000 excess 2024 Roth IRA contribution that I left in the…
Hello, In 2025, I rolled over my traditional 401k to my Roth IRA. I just received my 1099-R, and the taxable amount on there is 0, box 2b is empty, and box 7 is marked with G. This is likely because the originating institution could not know whether I would rollover the money into a trad or Roth account, which makes sense.…
This year I switched brokerages where I have my Roth IRA. I moved my IRA from Vanguard to Fidelity. It was a direct rollover and shouldn't be taxable from my understanding. Will I receive a 1099-R and do I need to include that on my taxes?
Can I contribute the $7000 IRA Max to my personal Roth IRA, and still make payroll deduction contributions to my employer's SIMPLE (Roth) IRA in the same year? Do I have to stop contributing to my personal Roth IRA totally, if I want to exceed $7000 to my employer's SIMPLE Roth plan (or even max-out to $16,500)? I'm a…
Hi, January 2025 deposited $8000 (50 and older) to 2025 Roth IRA. Due to increase in wages my magi is too high and I will contact vanguard this week and have $8000 plus earnings re-characterized as a new IRA. My concern, what steps must be taken to fill out taxes properly. It should be a simple process but the more I read…
Wondering if it's possible to do a backdoor roth ira conversion using FreeTaxUSA?
Hello, I need help ensuring I am correctly reporting a transaction for my 2024 tax return. The Situation: In 2024, I contributed $6,999.96 to a Roth IRA but had no earned income for the year. In September 2025, before my tax filing extension deadline (Oct 15), I had my broker (Schwab) process a "return of excess…
I withdrew the excess roth ira contribution after 4/15 deadline but before the extension. Fidelity does not issue the 1099R until the following year February. In the 1099R screen, I attempted to report the taxable earnings on the withdrawal but I am required to fill out the employer details. Can I report the taxable…
Hey all, I was being overzealous and maxed out my contributions to both the 2024 and 2025 years. I am currently a student who utilized extra scholarship money that I had stuffed in a savings account to make those contributions (i.e. I have no reported earned income). I was not aware that I ineligible to make these…
