Thank a lot qbteachmt You really answered my question Reason: I am preparing 2019, tp contributed $6500 traditional IRA 2019 (couple $12000), and subject AGI threshold and not IRA contribution deduction. Tp converted to ROTH 2019. He got 2019 1099R distribution of traditional IRA I prepared 1040 and attach form 8606,non taxable income distribution $6500 subject to basic cost of non taxable income and ROTH conversion (from traditional IRA to ROTH IRA) Now I am preparing amended 2018 and saw form 5498 and not see 1099R . Tp said traditional IRA 2018 contribution $5500 (couple $11000). On the 2018 return (tp prepared original) no IRA contribution deduction because of AGI threshold If he did not convert to ROTH, and keep traditional IRA $5500 ($12000 couple ) as is, then does tp get penalty? I made research, it is likely that no penalty Per your answer, I feel more confident "OPTIONAL" Tp can keep traditional IRA and no need convert to ROTH
