Hi all,
Upon reviewing my 2014 entries in light of figuring cost-basis and stuff between 2014 and now, I noticed and it seems I didn't report my wife's IRA recharacterization (roth to trad) in 2014. On line 15a of the 1040 I only see an amount that accounts for my own IRA recharacterization (also roth to trad). I'm assuming line 15a should contain the *cumulative* total between any and all IRAs we have? Furthermore, there's an incorrect amount for the cost basis entered for the 8606 form which I think I filled out only for myself. Based on all this, should I just go ahead and fill out an amended 1040x entering in the correct total for line 15a as well as two 8606 forms: one for the amount I filled out incorrectly, and that accounts for my wife's IRA that was recharacterized?
Now that I'm scrutinizing stuff, I'm finding all these things coming up where I'm seriously questioning my ability to properly file taxes :( To that point, I filed something incorrectly for 2013 and received a letter that I owed (it wasn't a whole lot but it didn't help with my confidence in all this).
