60-Day IRA Rollover
Account owner, over 59 1/2, took a distribution (in cash) from 2 separate IRAs on the same day – These are the only IRA distributions taken in the last year (365 days)- he is still in the 60 day window
T-IRA – $125,000
Roth – $80,000
Can the owner choose with distribution to repay (within the 60 day window)?
I am thinking….
Repay $125,000 (to the traditional IRA) – preventing taxation whereas the Roth (assuming its a qualified distribution) would be tax free.

Yes, owner can choose, or if taxable income was considerably below normal, owner could convert the entire 125k to Roth and roll the 80k back to the Roth.
