Traditional IRAs
For purposes of Form 8606, a traditional IRA is an individual retirement account or an individual retirement annuity other than a SEP, SIMPLE, or Roth IRA. Contributions. An overall contribution limit applies to traditional IRAs and Roth IRAs. See Overall Contribution Limit for Traditional and Roth IRAs on page 3. Contributions to a traditional IRA may be fully deductible, partially deductible, or completely nondeductible. Basis. Your basis in traditional IRAs is the total of all your nondeductible contributions and nontaxable amounts included in rollovers made to traditional IRAs minus the total of all your nontaxable distributions, adjusted if necessary (see the instructions for line 2 on page 6). Keep track of your basis to figure the nontaxable part of your future distributions.

may be deductible or nondeductible. SEP IRA distributions are reported in the same manner as traditional IRA distributions.

SIMPLE IRAs
Your participation in your employer's SIMPLE IRA plan does not prevent you from making contributions to a traditional, SEP, or Roth IRA.

Roth IRAs
A Roth IRA is similar to a traditional IRA, but has the following features. · Contributions are never deductible. · Contributions can be made after the owner reaches age 701/2. · No minimum distributions are required during the Roth IRA owner's lifetime. · Qualified distributions are not includible in income. Qualified distribution. Generally, a qualified distribution is any distribution made: · On or after age 591/2, · Upon death, · Due to disability, or · For qualified first-time homebuyer expenses. Exception. Any distribution made during the 5-year period beginning with the first year for which you made a Roth IRA contribution or conversion is not a qualified distribution, and may be taxable. Contributions. You can contribute to a Roth IRA for 2008 only if your 2008 modified adjusted gross income (AGI) for Roth IRA purposes is less than: · $10,000 if married filing separately and you lived with your spouse at any time in 2008, · $169,000 if married filing jointly or qualifying widow(er), or · $116,000 if single, head of household, or if married filing separately and you did not live with your spouse at any time in 2008. Use the Maximum Roth IRA Contribution Worksheet on this page to figure the maximum amount you can contribute to a Roth IRA for 2008. If you are married filing jointly, complete the worksheet separately for you and your spouse.

When and Where To File
File Form 8606 with your 2008 Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040NR. If you are not required to file an income tax return but are required to file Form 8606, sign Form 8606 and send it to the Internal Revenue Service at the same time and place you would otherwise file Form 1040, 1040A, or 1040NR.

Definitions

qualified retirement plans, and repayments of qualified hurricane, disaster recovery assistance, recovery assistance, and reservist distributions do not affect your contribution limit. The amount you can contribute to a Roth IRA may also be CAUTION limited by your modified AGI (see Contributions and the Maximum Roth IRA Contribution Worksheet on page 2). Taxable compensation includes the following. · Wages, salaries, tips, etc. If you received a distribution from a nonqualified deferred compensation plan or nongovernmental section 457 plan that is included in Form W-2, box 1, or in Form 1099-MISC, box 7, do not include that distribution in taxable compensation.

Overall Contribution Limit for Traditional and Roth IRAs
If you are not married filing jointly, your limit on contributions to traditional and Roth IRAs is the smaller of $5,000 ($6,000 if age 50 or older at the end of 2008) or your taxable compensation (defined later). If you are married filing jointly, your contribution limit is generally $5,000 ($6,000 if age 50 or older at the end of 2008) and your spouse's contribution limit is $5,000 ($6,000 if age 50 or older at the end of 2008) as well. But if the combined taxable compensation of both you and your spouse is less than $10,000 ($11,000 if one spouse is 50 or older at the end of 2008; $12,000 if both spouses are 50 or older at the end of 2008), see Pub. 590 for special rules. This limit does not apply to employer contributions to a SEP or SIMPLE IRA. Catch-up contributions in certain employer bankruptcies. If you participated in a 401(k) plan and the employer who maintained the plan went into bankruptcy in an earlier year, you may be able to contribute an additional $3,000 to your IRA. For more information, see Catch-up contributions in certain employer bankruptcies in Pub. 590. Note. Rollovers, Roth IRA conversions, Roth IRA rollovers from

Recharacterizations
Generally, you can recharacterize (correct) an IRA contribution, Roth IRA conversion, or a Roth IRA rollover from a qualified retirement plan by making a trustee-to-trustee transfer from one IRA to another type of IRA. Trustee-to-trustee transfers are made directly between financial institutions or within the same financial institution. You generally must make the transfer by the due date of your return (including extensions) and reflect it on your return. However, if you timely filed your return without making the transfer, you can make the transfer within 6 months of the due date of your return, excluding extensions. If necessary, file an amended return reflecting the transfer (see page 5). Write "Filed pursuant to section 301.9100-2" on the amended return. Reporting recharacterizations. Any recharacterized conversion or Roth IRA rollover from a qualified retirement plan will be treated as though the conversion or rollover had not occurred. Any recharacterized contribution will be treated as having been originally contributed to the second IRA, not the first IRA. The amount transferred must include related earnings or be reduced by any loss. In most cases, the related

earnings that you must transfer are figured by your IRA trustee or custodian. If you need to figure the related earnings, see How Do You Recharacterize a Contribution in Pub. 590. Any earnings or loss that occurred in the first IRA will be treated as having occurred in the second IRA. You cannot deduct any loss that occurred while the funds were in the first IRA. Also, you cannot take a deduction for a contribution to a traditional IRA if the amount is later recharacterized. See below for how to report the four different types of recharacterizations, including the statement that must be attached to your return explaining the recharacterization. 1. You converted an amount from a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA in 2008 and later recharacterized all or part of the amount back to a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA. If you only recharacterized part of the amount converted, report the amount not recharacterized on Form 8606. If you recharacterized the entire amount, do not report the recharacterization on Form 8606. In either case, attach a statement to your return explaining the recharacterization and include the amount converted from the traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA in the total on Form 1040, line 15a; Form 1040A, line 11a; or Form 1040NR, line 16a. If the recharacterization occurred in 2008, also include the amount transferred back from the Roth IRA on that line. If the recharacterization occurred in 2009, report the amount transferred only in the attached statement, and not on your 2008 or 2009 tax return (a 2009 Form 1099-R should be sent to you by February 1, 2010, stating that you made a recharacterization of an amount converted in the prior year). Example. You are married filing jointly and converted $20,000 from your traditional IRA to a new Roth IRA on May 20, 2008. On April 7, 2009, you determine that your 2008 modified AGI for Roth IRA purposes will exceed $100,000, and you are not allowed to make a Roth IRA conversion. The value of the Roth IRA on that date is $19,000. You recharacterize the conversion by transferring that entire amount to a traditional IRA in a trustee-to-trustee transfer. You report $20,000 on Form 1040, line 15a. You do not include the $19,000 on line 15a because it did not occur in 2008 (you also do not report that amount on your 2009 return because it does not apply to the 2009 tax year). You attach a statement to Form 1040 explaining that (a) you made a conversion of $20,000 from a traditional IRA on May 20, 2008, and (b) you recharacterized the entire amount, which was then valued at $19,000, back to a traditional IRA on April 7, 2009. 2. You made a contribution to a traditional IRA and later recharacterized part or all of it to a Roth IRA. If you

-3-

recharacterized only part of the contribution, report the nondeductible traditional IRA portion of the remaining contribution, if any, on Form 8606, Part I. If you recharacterized the entire contribution, do not report the contribution on Form 8606. In either case, attach a statement to your return explaining the recharacterization. If the recharacterization occurred in 2008, include the amount transferred from the traditional IRA on Form 1040, line 15a; Form 1040A, line 11a; or Form 1040NR, line 16a. If the recharacterization occurred in 2009, report the amount transferred only in the attached statement. Example. You are single, covered by a retirement plan, and you contributed $4,000 to a new traditional IRA on May 27, 2008. On February 24, 2009, you determine that your 2008 modified AGI will limit your traditional IRA deduction to $1,000. The value of your traditional IRA on that date is $4,400. You decide to recharacterize $3,000 of the traditional IRA contribution as a Roth IRA contribution, and have $3,300 ($3,000 contribution plus $300 related earnings) transferred from your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in a trustee-to-trustee transfer. You deduct the $1,000 traditional IRA contribution on Form 1040. You are not required to file Form 8606, but you must attach a statement to your return explaining the recharacterization. The statement indicates that you contributed $4,000 to a traditional IRA on May 27, 2008; recharacterized $3,000 of that contribution on February 24, 2009, by transferring $3,000 plus $300 of related earnings from your traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in a trustee-to-trustee transfer; and that all $1,000 of the remaining traditional IRA contribution is deducted on Form 1040. You do not report the $3,300 distribution from your traditional IRA on your 2008 Form 1040 because the distribution occurred in 2009. You do not report the distribution on your 2009 Form 1040 because the recharacterization related to 2008 and was explained in an attachment to your 2008 return. 3. You made a contribution to a Roth IRA and later recharacterized part or all of it to a traditional IRA. Report the nondeductible traditional IRA portion, if any, on Form 8606, Part I. If you did not recharacterize the entire contribution, do not report the remaining Roth IRA portion of the contribution on Form 8606. Attach a statement to your return explaining the recharacterization. If the recharacterization occurred in 2008, include the amount transferred from the Roth IRA on Form 1040, line 15a; Form 1040A, line 11a; or Form 1040NR, line 16a. If the recharacterization occurred in 2009, report the amount transferred only in the attached statement, and not on your 2008 or 2009 tax return. Example. You are single and contributed $4,000 to a new Roth IRA

on June 16, 2008. On December 29, 2008, you determine that your 2008 modified AGI will allow a full traditional IRA deduction. You decide to recharacterize the Roth IRA contribution as a traditional IRA contribution and have $4,200, the balance in the Roth IRA account ($4,000 contribution plus $200 related earnings), transferred from your Roth IRA to a traditional IRA in a trustee-to-trustee transfer. You deduct the $4,000 traditional IRA contribution on Form 1040. You are not required to file Form 8606, but you must attach a statement to your return explaining the recharacterization. The statement indicates that you contributed $4,000 to a new Roth IRA on June 16, 2008; recharacterized that contribution on December 29, 2008, by transferring $4,200, the balance in the Roth IRA, to a traditional IRA in a trustee-to-trustee transfer; and that $4,000 of the traditional IRA contribution is deducted on Form 1040. You include the $4,200 distribution on your 2008 Form 1040, line 15a. 4. You rolled over an amount from a qualified retirement plan to a Roth IRA in 2008 and later recharacterized all or part of the amount to a traditional IRA. Attach a statement to your return explaining the recharacterization and include the amount of the original rollover on Form 1040, line 16a; Form 1040A, line 12a; or Form 1040NR, line 17a. Also, include any taxable amount of the rollover not recharacterized on Form 1040, line 16b; Form 1040A, line 12b; or Form 1040NR, line 17b. If the recharacterization occurred in 2008, also include the amount transferred from the Roth IRA on Form 1040, line 15a; Form 1040A, line 11a; or Form 1040NR, line 16a. If the recharacterization occurred in 2009, report the amount transferred only in the attached statement, and not on your 2008 or 2009 tax return (a 2009 Form 1099-R should be sent to you by February 1, 2010, stating that you made a recharacterization of an amount in the prior year). You do not report these rollovers or recharacterizations on Form 8606. Example. You are single and you rolled over $50,000 from your 401(k) plan to a new Roth IRA on July 20, 2008. On March 25, 2009, you determine that your 2008 modified AGI for Roth IRA purposes will exceed $100,000, and you are not allowed to make a Roth IRA rollover. The value of the Roth IRA on that date is $49,000. You recharacterize the rollover by transferring that entire amount to a traditional IRA in a trustee-to-trustee transfer. You report $50,000 on Form 1040, line 16a. You do not include the $49,000 on line 15a because it did not occur in 2008 (you also do not report that amount on your 2009 return because it does not apply to the 2009 tax year). You attach a statement to Form 1040 explaining that (a) you

made a rollover of $50,000 from a 401(k) plan to a Roth IRA on July 20, 2008, and (b) you recharacterized the entire amount, which was then valued at $49,000, to a traditional IRA on March 25, 2009.

Return of IRA Contributions
If, in 2008 or 2009, you made traditional IRA contributions or Roth IRA contributions for 2008 and you had those contributions returned to you with any related earnings (or minus any loss) by the due date (including extensions) of your 2008 tax return, the returned contributions are treated as if they were never contributed. Do not report the contribution or distribution on Form 8606 or take a deduction for the contribution. However, you must report the distribution and any related earnings on your 2008 Form 1040, lines 15a and 15b; Form 1040A, lines 11a and 11b; or Form 1040NR, lines 16a and 16b. Attach a statement explaining the distribution. You cannot deduct any loss that occurred (see Pub. 590 for an exception if you withdrew the entire amount in all your traditional or Roth IRAs). Also, if you were under age 591/2 at the time of a distribution with related earnings, you generally are subject to the additional 10% tax on early distributions (see Form 5329, Additional Taxes on Qualified Plans (Including IRAs) and Other Tax-Favored Accounts). If you timely filed your 2008 tax return without withdrawing a contribution that you made in 2008, you can still have the contribution returned to you within 6 months of the due date of your 2008 tax return, excluding extensions. If you do, file an amended return with "Filed pursuant to section 301.9100-2" written at the top. Report any related earnings on the amended return and include an explanation of the withdrawal. Make any other necessary changes on the amended return (for example, if you reported the contributions as excess contributions on your original return, include an amended Form 5329 reflecting that the withdrawn contributions are no longer treated as having been contributed). In most cases, the related earnings that you must withdraw are figured by your IRA trustee or custodian. If you need to figure the related earnings on IRA contributions that were returned to you, see Contributions Returned Before Due Date of Return in Pub. 590. If you made a contribution or distribution while the IRA held the returned contribution, see Pub. 590. If you made a contribution for 2007 and you had it returned to you in 2008 as described above, do not report the distribution on your 2008 tax return. Instead, report it on your 2007 original or amended return in the manner described above.

Example. On May 28, 2008, you contributed $4,000 to your traditional IRA. The value of the IRA was $18,000 prior to the contribution. On December 29, 2008, when you are age 57 and the value of the IRA is $23,600, you realize you cannot make the entire contribution because your taxable compensation for the year will be only $3,000. You decide to have $1,000 of the contribution returned to you and withdraw $1,073 from your IRA ($1,000 contribution plus $73 earnings). You did not make any other withdrawals or contributions. You are not required to file Form 8606. You deduct the $3,000 remaining contribution on Form 1040. You include $1,073 on Form 1040, line 15a, and $73 on line 15b. You attach a statement to your tax return explaining the distribution. Because you properly removed the excess contribution with the related earnings by the due date of your tax return, you are not subject to the additional 6% tax on excess contributions. However, because you were under age 591/2 at the time of the distribution, the $73 of earnings is subject to the additional 10% tax on early distributions. You include $7.30 on Form 1040, line 59.

limitation) or taken for the excess contributions. Include the total amount distributed on Form 1040, line 15a; Form 1040A, line 11a; or Form 1040NR, line 16a; and attach a statement to your return explaining the distribution. See the example below. If you meet these conditions and are otherwise required to file Form 8606: · Do not take into account the amount of the withdrawn contributions in figuring line 2, and · Do not include the amount of the withdrawn contributions on line 7. Example. You are single, you retired in 2005, and you had no taxable compensation after 2005. However, you made traditional IRA contributions (that you did not deduct) of $3,000 in 2006 and $4,000 in 2007. In November 2008, a tax practitioner informed you that you had made excess contributions for those years because you had no taxable compensation. You withdrew the $7,000 and filed amended returns for 2006 and 2007 reflecting the additional 6% tax on excess contributions on Form 5329. You include the $7,000 distribution on your 2008 Form 1040, line 15a, enter -0- on line 15b, and attach a statement to your return explaining the distribution, including the fact that you filed amended returns for 2006 and 2007 and paid the additional 6% tax on the excess contributions for those years. The statement indicates that the distribution is not taxable because (a) it was made after the due dates of your 2006 and 2007 tax returns, including extensions, (b) your total IRA contributions did not exceed $4,000 ($5,000 if age 50 or older at the end of the year) for 2006 or 2007, and (c) you did not take a deduction for the contributions, and no deduction was allowable because you did not have any taxable compensation for those years. The statement also indicates that the distribution reduced your excess contributions to -0-, as reflected on your 2008 Form 5329 and it indicates your adjusted basis in nondeductible contributions.

Overstatement Penalty
If you overstate your nondeductible contributions, you must pay a $100 penalty, unless you can show reasonable cause.

What Records Must I Keep?
To verify the nontaxable part of distributions from your IRAs, including Roth IRAs, keep a copy of the following forms and records until all distributions are made. · Page 1 of Forms 1040 (or Forms 1040A, 1040NR, or 1040-T) filed for each year you made a nondeductible contribution to a traditional IRA. · Forms 8606 and any supporting statements, attachments, and worksheets for all applicable years. · Forms 5498 or similar statements you received each year showing contributions you made to a traditional IRA or Roth IRA. · Forms 5498 or similar statements you received showing the value of your traditional IRAs for each year you received a distribution. · Forms 1099-R or W-2P you received for each year you received a distribution. Note. Forms 1040-T and W-2P are forms that were used in prior years.

Return of Excess Traditional IRA Contributions
The return (distribution) in 2008 of excess traditional IRA contributions for years prior to 2008 is not taxable if all three of the following apply. 1. The distribution was made after the due date, including extensions, of your tax return for the year for which the contribution was made (if the distribution was made earlier, see Return of IRA Contributions on page 4). 2. The total contributions (excluding rollovers and conversions) to your traditional and SEP IRAs for the year for which the excess contribution was made did not exceed: a. $4,000 ($5,000 if age 50 or older at the end of the year) for 2007 or 2006, b. $4,000 ($4,500 if age 50 or older at the end of the year) for 2005, c. $3,000 ($3,500 if age 50 or older at the end of the year) for years after 2001 and before 2005, d. $2,000 for years after 1996 and before 2002, or e. $2,250 for years before 1997. If your total IRA contributions for the year included employer contributions to a SEP IRA, increase the $4,000 ($5,000 or $4,500, if applicable), $3,000 ($3,500, if applicable), $2,000, or $2,250 by the smaller of the employer contributions or $45,000 ($44,000 for 2006, $42,000 for 2005, $41,000 for 2004, $40,000 for 2003 and 2002, $35,000 for 2001, or $30,000 for years before 2001). 3.

Enter on line 1 of Form 8606 your nondeductible contributions. Include on line 1 any repayment of a qualified reservist distribution. Also, include any repayment of a qualified hurricane, disaster recovery assistance, or recovery assistance distribution that is attributable to previously nondeductible contributions. Do not include on line 1 contributions that you had returned to you with the related earnings (or less any loss). See page 4.

the excess, if any, of the amount on line 1 over the contributions you actually made in 2008. Example. You made contributions for 2008 of $2,000 in May 2008 and $2,000 in January 2009, of which $3,000 are deductible and $1,000 are nondeductible. You choose $1,000 of your contribution in 2008 to be nondeductible. You enter the $1,000 on line 1, but not line 4, and it becomes part of your basis for 2008. Although the contributions to traditional IRAs for 2008 that you made from January 1, 2009, through April 15, 2009, can be treated as nondeductible, they are not included in figuring the nontaxable part of any distributions you received in 2008.

You received a $30,000 qualified disaster recovery assistance distribution on August 18, 2008, from your traditional IRA. On December 15, 2008, you made a repayment of $15,000 to your traditional IRA. The value of all your traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs as of December 31, 2008, was $50,000. You had no outstanding rollovers. You would enter $35,000 ($50,000 minus the $15,000 repayment) on line 6.

Line 7
If you received a distribution in 2008 from a traditional, SEP, or CAUTION SIMPLE IRA, and you also made contributions for 2008 to a traditional IRA that may not be fully deductible because of the income limits, you must make a special computation before completing the rest of this form. For details, including how to complete Form 8606, see Are Distributions Taxable? in chapter 1 of Pub. 590. Do not include any of the following on line 7. · Distributions that you converted to a Roth IRA. · Recharacterizations. · Distributions that you rolled over by December 31, 2008, and any outstanding rollovers included on line 6. · Distributions you rolled over to a qualified employer plan. · A one-time distribution to fund an HSA.

If an excess contribution in your traditional IRA is the result of a rollover from a qualified retirement plan and the excess occurred because the information the plan was required to give you was incorrect, the distribution of the excess contribution is not taxable. Attach a statement to your return explaining the distribution and include the amount of the distribution on Form 1040, line 15a; Form 1040A, line 11a; or Form 1040NR, line 16a.

However, if you recharacterized any amounts, enter on line 6 the total value taking into account all recharacterizations, including recharacterizations made after December 31, 2008. For line 6, a rollover is a tax-free distribution from one traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA that is contributed to another traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA. The rollover must be completed within 60 days of receiving the distribution from the first IRA. An outstanding rollover is any amount distributed in 2008 after November 1, 2008, that was rolled over in 2009, but within the 60-day rollover period. The IRS may waive the 60-day requirement if failing to waive it would be against equity or good conscience, such as situations where a casualty, disaster, or other events beyond your reasonable control prevented you from meeting the 60-day requirement. Also, the 60-day period may be extended if you had a frozen deposit. See Pub. 590 for details. Note. Do not include a rollover from a traditional or SEP IRA to a qualified employer plan even if it was an outstanding rollover. Also include on line 6, any qualified distributions you repaid before March 4, 2009, if the distributions were to be used to purchase or construct a main home in a Midwestern disaster area, but the home was not purchased or constructed because of the severe storms, tornadoes, or flooding.

If you were under age 591/2 at the time you received distributions from your traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA, there generally is an additional 10% tax on the portion of the distribution that is included in income (25% for a distribution from a SIMPLE IRA during the first 2 years). See the Instructions for Form 1040, line 59, or the Instructions for Form 1040NR, line 54.

Line 8
If, in 2008, you converted any amounts from traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs to a Roth IRA, enter on line 8 the net amount you converted. To figure that amount, subtract from the total amount converted in 2008 any portion that you recharacterized back to traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs in 2008 or 2009 (see Recharacterizations that begins on page 3). Do not take into account related earnings that were transferred with the recharacterized amount or any loss that occurred while the amount was in the Roth IRA. See item 1 under Reporting recharacterizations on page 3 for details.

Part II--2008 Conversions From Traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs to Roth IRAs
Complete Part II if you converted part or all of your traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRAs to a Roth IRA in 2008, excluding any portion you recharacterized. See item 1 under Reporting recharacterizations on page 3 for details. Limit on number of conversions. If you converted an amount from a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA in 2008 and then recharacterized the amount back to a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA, you cannot reconvert that amount until the later of January 1, 2009, or 30 days after the recharacterization. See Pub. 590 for details. You cannot convert any amount to Roth IRAs in 2008 if (a) your CAUTION modified AGI for Roth IRA purposes (see page 2) is more than $100,000, or (b) your filing status is married filing separately and you lived with your spouse at any time in 2008. If you erroneously made a conversion, you must recharacterize the converted amount. See Recharacterizations that begins on page 3.
