Question

I have a trad IRA with non-deductible contribs & gains. I didn't file form 8606 in yrs of contribution but I know the basis. What do I do to minimize tax on withdrawals.

More details: value of IRA is about $170K;  assume non-deductible contributions were $68,000 over multiple years.  Assume I withdraw $50K;  I think $30K should be taxable (102/170=60%) but how do I enter this?

Did you take a distribution in 2021?   

Did you make a contribution in 2021?

Have you been filing a form 8606 when needed in the past?

When taking a distribution, see Form 8606 Line 2 to report your non-deductible contributions.

Then do  the calculation specified on the following lines.

 

Note: If you have been remiss in filing 8606 as required, IRS can ask for documentation.
