Right - so which is correct? They cannot both be. In searching the internet I found a blog discussing this and someone who seemed to be knowledgeable said that many different tax software (not just TurboTax) were now using worksheet 1-1 exclusively for all calculations for distributions instead of the 8606 and the IRS seemed to be okay with that. Many of those programs include the worksheet with the filing.
