IRS transcript does not show form 8606

I made non-deductible IRA for 2020 and 2021. Turbotax generated the form correctly for both years. I saved the return records. Then filed.

However, I've checked IRS transcripts online. And there is NO 8606 form for both years' transcripts.

Am I missing something? Was it a turbotax's bug? The tax records do have the form, but why not in the IRS transcripts?

I'm picking my head wondering I need to refile 1040X to include 8606 and mail in.

Please help.

You probably need to order your full return via Form 4506.

THanks,

So you're saying the online version does not contain 8606, but the full transcript does?

I just assumed online and requested versions are the same.

No, probably the copy of your full return.

A transcript of your tax return only includes the information from Form 8606 involved in the calculation of the taxable amount of a distribution. If your Form 8606 only reported a contribution, the lack of any mention of Form 8606 in your transcript is expected and is of no consequence.
