How do you record a taxable in-kind transfer of shares for a Roth Conversion?

I did a Roth Conversion by transferring shares from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA. I can Remove or Transfer the shares, but it does not appear as a taxable distribution. Do I have to make a phantom deposit in a phony cash account to create a taxable transaction?

Yes, but you can just use your checking account. I use a manual transfer originating in the checking account with splits. One split line accepting cash from the IRA and then returning it back in another split line to the account for a zero dollars transaction.
If the tax line in the IRA account details is set up with IRA taxable distribution for transfers out, it will show up correctly for tax purposes.0 -
When I did a Roth Conversion, I transferred the shares between the accounts and also I added to the tax planner to determine my tax effect.2
