TAXBILLY Posted March 4, 2009 Report Share Posted March 4, 2009 Quick answer: No. Can't be a 2008 transaction if receipt of the money is in 2009. taxbilly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's a good question, since you can make contributions for 2008 in 2009, and if a Traditional IRA, you're deducting money contibuted in a different year. But, taxbilly is right (as usual). Conversions are reported in the actual year they're done. I had to look it up. Thanks for the question! Rita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
