Can I recharacterize from Trad IRA to Roth back to Trad IRA?
« on: October 12, 2021, 10:39:53 PM »
So financial situation has changed.. feeling dumb but just wondering

At first I contributed $6k into Trad IRA.

Then recharacterized it to Roth. Thats $6299 including earnings.

Now I’m thinking.. can I recharacterize the $6299 back to Trad?

Based on Recharacterize a recharacterization? - Bogleheads.org it appears the answer is "no."  See that thread and link therein for more.
