    In 2021 I rolled over my Employee 401k into a traditional IRA. Within the 401 K was $49465.00 in aftertax Contributions. In 2022 I converted that amount into a Roth IRA, I was also required to take an RMD distribution from my IRA. My 1099R shows a distribution that combines the two amounts. I have watched the video but stilled confused how to fill out form 8086

  2. @jk23365

    If my wife and I are both contributing to a Roth IRA for 2023 (6500 max conversion for each) and are planning to file jointly come tax time, do we need to each file a form 8606?

  3. @nancyericson4263

    In 2021, I put $7,000 from my savings account into a non-deductible traditional IRA. Within several weeks, I noticed that, due to the stock market downturn, I was losing money on the self-directed stocks I chose. I stopped the investments and put the money back into my regular savings account. I lost approx. $8.00 on the amount I had in this IRA. Do I have to report my withdrawal on form 8606? I do not have any other IRA's.

  4. @nithyapriya500

    Hi , I transferred post tax money to traditional IRA for year 2022 on March 2023. Conversion to Roth IRA for year 2022 in March 2023. So what should I enter in line 3 , 4 and 5 of part 1 in form 8606? I assume it is 0 from line 6 to 15 except 14. I don’t need to fill part -II as I did conversion in March for previous year .

    FORM 8606 TOTAL BASIS BALANCE WHEN I DIE. How does my spouse handle the balance?

    where do i send it to ? im in California, thanks

  7. @tonydutenhoffer3403

    Good information, not sure that it covers what I'm looking for. I have an inherited Roth that I did a rollover distribution this year into a new Roth. Do I need to fill out the form 8606 as it's a Roth to Roth conversion.

  8. @moyayla

    thanks for the video. have a question. for line 8 about conversion, if we contribute between jan and march 2021 for 2020 IRA, that should be 0, right? Mainly I contributed to the previous year IRA(2020) in 2021 and conversion also happened in 2021 which makes all the lines from 6 to 15 all zero except line 14. Correct?

  9. @jasondoe5741

    Hopefully, you can help me out, say over the last 4 years I contributed 20k into my ROTH IRA and now 2022 I want to take out 10k of my contributions (not gains), how do I fill Part III out?

  10. @stalebread5084

    excellent video! I have a question about part 3 of the form. I contributed $250 into my ROTH IRA in 2021, then I later took out that $250 without having invested it. How should I fill out part 3, do I only write $250 for line 19? Part 1 and 2 doesn't apply to me. I would greatly appreciate it if you could help me out!

  11. @stevenobrien595

    The information in this video was so helpful. We explained. Thank you.

  12. @stevenobrien595

    Hello again! Just one more question. Filling out the 8606 2021 form. Part 2, I did 5,000 conversion this year( line 16)The question is on part 3 line 24 do I include the 5,000 from 2021 to this amount. ( in the past the only other total conversion was 2,000. So line 24 would be 2,000 or do I add the 5,000 which would make line 24. 7,000 my total conversion basis? I apologize for such a long question! God bless my friend. Steve ny

    This is what I need clarified: I have a 401K which was established by my employer back in the 1970's. I have never personally added money to the IRA . Last year I decided to follow the guidelines found on Vanguards site to do a conversion of $10,000 from the IRA to my Roth IRA. Now I am getting together my taxes and trying to understand what needs to be filled out the F. 8606. Hopefully you can tell me what lines need to be entered to properly report the conversion. I withdrew the RMD first. Next I followed Vanguards guide to move the money from my 401K to my Roth IRA. Do I need to fill out the F.8606 and attach it to my 1040? I am confused and need to know how I should enter the $10,000 conversion on the form. Hope you will provide the answers. Thanks you for the great video. Carl

    I have been contributing after tax money to my Roth IRA since 2013, and have never filed a form 8606 because I didn’t know. For the year 2021, I withdrew my Roth IRA contributions of $19k. I now received a 1099-R. What should I do?

  15. @datachange99

    I think I understand the details that matters to me.
    I plan to open a traditional IRA and make a non-deductible cash deposit into it for the year 2021. This deposit would bring me to my $6000 IRA contribution limit for the 2021 tax year. I plan to immediately roll it into my (existing) Roth IRA.
    1. Because I made the deposit in the year 2022, I don't need to file 8606 for the year 2021 (although I could, if I wanted).
    2. For the 2022 tax year, I need to file 8606 parts I and II. As for the intricate details, I will worry about it, then.
    3. Since I have no other earnings or deductible assets in any traditional IRA accounts (traditional 401(k) stuffs doesn't count, right?), I won't need to pay any additional taxes when filling out the form next year.

    Am I correct in all this?
    Thank you very much for your help and this lovely video!
