form 8606

Hi. I have a question about taxes that I filed for 2021 year.

In 2020 I contributed to trad IRA $6000 (maximum allowed IRS limit) as after tax money and bought some ETF with this. I used form 8606 to report them as nondeductible contributions.

In 2021 I sold those ETF on tad IRA and got $5986. So it was loss of $14. Now I added additional $6000 (maximum allowed IRS limit) as after tax money to trad IRA. So in total it my trad IRA had $11,986. All those funds are after tax money. Now I transferred those funds to Roth IRA.

 

I got following tax forms for 2021:

1 Gross distribution: $11,986

Taxable amount not determined: X

Total distribution: X

7 Distribution Code: 2

IRA/SEP/SIMPLE: X

All other filed are empty

 

and also I got form 5498 for IRA contributions.

1.IRA contributions: $6,000.00

 

I used tax software and here is form 8606 that was generated:

1. 6,000.

2. 6,000.

3. 12,000.

5. 12,000.

13. 11,986.

14. 14.

16. 11,986.

17. 11,986.

21. 0

 

My concern is about line 14. It looks like it says that I had $14 in my account after trad IRA to roth IRA transfer but it is not correct because $11,986 is total amount of money that was in account. $14 is just loss from investment.
