In early 2012, I wanted to contribute $5,000 to a Roth IRA for 2011, but my income was too high, so I made the contribution to a Traditional, non-deductible IRA, then the next day, converted it to a Roth IRA. I then filed Form 8606 with my 2011 return. I also intend to complete Form 8606 for my 2012 return to show the conversion in 2012.
I just received Form 1099-R, which shows I took a distribution of $5,000 in Boxes 1 and 2, and shows code 2 in Box 7, which I see means, "Early distribution, exception applies (under age 59 1/2)". One copy of the form states to report this income on my Federal Tax return. What income? Another copy instructs to file it with my state return, when required.
Is this all correct? I didn't take a distribution, I converted from non-deductible Traditional to Roth with no gain or loss.
