Over Roth IRA income limit for 2023, recharacterization questions

Hi,

Switched jobs last year and, with wife and I's joint income, puts me over the limit for Roth IRA eligibility on my 2023 taxes (which I have not yet filed). I knew that our joint income would be above the limit in 2024 but was not expecting this to have been over the limit in 2023. Have been reading on re-characterization and plan to go this route.

I plan to call Vanguard tomorrow to ask them to re-characterize my contribution.

Questions

  1. Should there be any issues in filing my taxes on time? (Using turbotax)
  2. Once my contribution is recharacterized and placed in my traditional IRA, I assume I would perform the backdoor Roth conversion right away?

Thank you!
