Can I get direction on how to report Roth IRA contributions on my return?

A Roth IRA is a retirement savings account that allows individuals to withdraw amounts tax-free. Roth IRA accounts are funded with after-tax dollars—meaning you will pay taxes on it when you deposit the funds.

Roth contributions aren’t tax-deductible, and qualified distributions aren’t taxable income. So you won’t report them on your return. If you receive a nonqualified distribution from your Roth IRA you will report that distribution on IRS Form 8606. Learn more about reporting non-deductible Roth IRA contributions.
