Hi - Here is what I learned after I paid $60 for turbotax help. First - the two TT reps I spoke to could NOT see my return. The first TT rep gave up. Then I tried again with a second rep who again could not see my return. Setting that aside, the 2nd rep listened carefully and analyzed the situation. Look at language on line 8 of form 8606 - it says NET - and according to the TT rep this means Line 8 is supposed to show the amount that is taxable - because it is NET, over and above, the allowed amount. So if you have a zero in there, it is probably correct. In my case, the taxable amount of ZERO was correct, and all was OK. Yes, this is different advice from the TT employee in the community that first answered me. She was apparently wrong, so between that issue and the tech issues after I paid $60, I am a little bit disappointed! I hope this helps you. Remember I'm not a CPA, and I'm not a tax expert.
