But you still have to file Form 8606 for at least one, possibly
two reasons:

1. Your tax basis in your traditional IRa changed when you
converted to a Roth. That must be shown on the 8606.


2. If there were any earnings of your after-tax contributions,
then some of your conversion amount was indeed taxable income
and must be reported on Form 8606 and 1040.

None of it was taxable as all contributions were w/ after tax money.

Yes. And you have to declare the amount of the conversion
that was taxable and pay tax. Once more, Form 8606.

OK, simple enough. I also have reords for conversion from IRA to ROTH IRA.
Do I need to report that?

Unless you have a retirement savers credit coming (Form 8880) you
do not report contributions to your Roth IRA.


File form 8606 for each year you made a nondeductible (afer-tax)
contribution to your traditional IRA. It is a stand-alone form
so can be filed by itself without needing to amend.

Default How do I notify the IRS that I previously made contributions to after tax IRAs and ROTH accounts?

How do I notify the IRS that I previously made contributions to after tax
IRAs and ROTH accounts?
These contributions date from 1995. Some of them I know I included w/ the
tax returns others I don't think so.
