conversation: User (lisinotrill): "I contributed $5,500 to a Vanguard traditional IRA just before tax day. After the ~7 day holding period, I successfully converted the tIRA to a Roth IRA. However the amount that was converted was $5,501.87. \n\n • Do I owe taxes on the $1.87? \n\n • Do I have to submit a tax amendment for 2017? The customer service rep I spoke to said I will have to pay taxes on the $1.87 when I do my 2018 taxes next year. \n\n • Also the conversion itself is not a taxable event, correct? The rep said originally that I would pay taxes on the $5,500 since tIRA is usually pre-tax money; however my contribution was post-tax money."
  Self: "Did you claim a deduction for the contribution on your 2017 taxes?"
  User (lisinotrill): "I did not. I had completed my taxes prior to making this contribution."
