Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Yes, you will enter the $6,000 contribution for 2022, and then for the total Basis as of December 31, 2021, enter $6,000 (from your 2021 8606 line 14). Therefore, your 2022 8606 will have $6,000 in line 1 and line 2. Lines 3 and 5 should be $12,000.

If you have a star (*) next to line 13 then TurboTax uses the Worksheet 1-1. Figuring the Taxable Part of Your IRA Distribution to calculate the nontaxable portion and lines 6 to 12 won't have any entries.

Please use the following instructions to enter a "Backdoor IRA" to ensure it is calculated correctly in TurboTax.

To enter the nondeductible contribution to the traditional IRA:

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions” 
3. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
4. Select “traditional IRA”
5. Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution?”
6. Enter the amount you contributed
7. Answer “No” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen
8. Answer the next questions until you get to “Any Nondeductible Contributions to Your IRA?” and select “Yes” if you had a nondeductible contribution before this tax year.
9. Enter your basis in the Traditional IRA from your 2021 Form 8606 line 14 (if you had a basis in the prior year)
10. On the “Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions” screen choose “Yes, make part of my IRA contribution nondeductible” and enter the amount (if you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a warning and then a screen saying $0 is deductible).

5. On the "Review your 1099-R info" screen click "Continue"
6. Answer "yes" to "Any nondeductible Contributions to your IRA?" if you had any nondeductible contributions in prior years.
