I don't have a Tax Tools option? I'm trying to find where I can file form 8606 and following the instructions does NOT bring up a "Jump to" link  - pls help!


Why do you need a 8606?

 

You don't normally enter a 8606 itself. It is automatically created when:

1) You make a new non-deductible Traditional IRA contribution.
2) You take a distribution from a IRA that has a after-tax "basis".
3) You make a conversion of a retirement account to a Roth IRA

If none of those occurred, then the last filed 8606 remains in effect

There are some circumstances when a 8606 must be files for other reasons and might require filing a stand-alone 8606.  That cannot be done using TurboTax.
