My back-door roth IRA conversion is the biggest pain every year.

I try it. I call Fidelity. I try again. I call TurboTax. I try again. I postpone for two weeks, then just submit it.

They word it in such a weird way. Recharacterization, transfer, blah, blah, blah. I feel like they could explain the IRA section better.
