If you do backdoor ROTH, DONT use Online version
If you are doing a backdoor ROTH don't use TurboTax online, you have to use the Desktop version. Doing this conversion requires form 8606 which the online version doesn't give you control to fill out.
In addition, to even see if TurboTax Online is filling out the form correctly, you have to pay. Then go to "Tax Tools' --> 'Print Center' --> Tax Return --> Scroll to form. In the desktop version, you can click the form at any time and adjust as necessary. I spent hours trying to figure out how to get TurboTax online to fill out form 8606 correctly. I think its a bug in the system or they simplified it too much or they just never thought to add this feature.
Intuit doesn't give TurboTax Online refunds. I had to buy twice this year. Dont be like me...buy the Desktop and don't fool around with the crappy Online version.
