In certain situations (such as recharacterization of an IRA contribution or Roth IRA conversion, return of IRA contributions, or return of excess traditional IRA contributions), a statement must be attached to your return explaining the recharacterization or distribution. You can create this attachment in TaxACT and the return will still be eligible for electronic filing:
Click on the Federal Q&A tab
Click Retirement Plan Income to expand the category and then click IRA Distribution Explanation
Enter the statement information on the following screen
The IRS Instructions for Form 8606, pages 3-5, provide the most definitive guidance for reporting recharacterizations. Because TaxACT supports the attached statement for the recharacterization, you will still be able to electronically file a return containing this statement.
