Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The 2022 Form 8606 line 14 should be $6,000 and this needs to be entered during the 2023 interview:
 

  1. On the "Review your 1099-R info" screen click "Continue"
  2. Answer "yes" to "Any nondeductible Contributions to your IRA?" since you had any nondeductible contributions in prior years.
  3. Answer the questions about the basis from line 14 of your 2022 Form 8606 (should be $6,000 if you reported it correctly on your 2022 return) and the value of all traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs.

Please note the Backdoor Roth only works if all your traditional/SEP/SIMPLE IRAs are empty (value is $0 at the end of the year). Otherwise, the pro-rata rule applies. This means that with each distribution/ conversion you will have a taxable and nontaxable part.
