NOT an IRA rollover.

[luckyme]

I did the free efile for our tax return.

Not complicated, BUT, when I transferred an IRA this past summer, I thought it went from traditional to tranditional, as that is what DH told me right before I filed the taxes.

However, just found out he was looking at the wrong account and it actually went into a Roth IRA, so now it is a conversion.

I want to recharacterize it, as it does affect the kids financial aid; is treated as income. 

 
So do we do an amended and treat as conversion, THEN do a recharacterization?  Or does the recharacterization become the amended tax return?

Also, any clue on how this affects the FAFSA? 

Or if anyone has better advice, all would be welcome.
