I do not understand this part, about "any carry forward..."

 

My balance in the traditional IRA in 2015 was about $250 which came from years ago (probably a contribution in 1990s that I do not remember.)  The $250 was sitting there and forgotten all this time .   Do i put the $250 on line 2?

 

Line 2 is not the IRA balance but any prior years non-deductible contributions reported of other years on a 8606 form for that year.   The line 2 amount comes from line 14 from the last 8606 form that was filed.
