Hi,
In 1998 I converted a traditional IRA to a Roth IRA and chose the four year spread with which to pay taxes. In both 1998 and 1999 I had a professional prepare my income taxes and for both of those years he used Form 8606.
In 2000 I prepared my own taxes using Turbo Tax. In order to prepare Form 8606 I had to override some numbers. In haste I just followed what my tax preparer had done in 1999.
Now that the rush is over was it necessary to prepare Form 8606? If so which lines should I have filled in? Following what my tax preparer had done perhaps I was filling in the incorrect lines. Since I still have one more year to go I would like to make sure that I prepare my taxes correctly in so far as the Roth is concerned. Thanks for your guidance.
