Upon performing the Smart Check in TurboTax, I keep getting an error for Line 15 of the IRA Contributions Worksheet. NOTE: Interestingly, the issue is with Line 14 of the worksheet, even though the error indicates that the issue lies with Line 15.
Despite going through the process (twice) for filing my 1099-Rs and then following the process for documenting a Backdoor Roth IRA conversion AND telling it that I planned to make all of my IRA contributions this year non-deductible, it still ended up assigning a deductible amount to Line 12 of the IRA Contributions Worksheet. So, when I entered the full 6000 as the non-deductible portion of my 2020 contribution, it still used some calculated value. Line 14 (amount you elect to make nondeductible) cannot exceed Line 13 (although I think that they mean Line 12).
So, despite the UI errors with the line # referencing, it basically looks like it is assigning a value for my spouse's 2020 IRA contribution as deductible, even though I already told it not to. And now it is saying that the amount that I am electing to make nondeductible cannot exceed the deductible amount. This makes sense, but this is not what I entered when completing the step-by-step guide and is not what I did last year (using the same process).
It looks like I cannot correct Lines 12 & 13 by hand - for whatever reason (that's unclear). Any help would be appreciated...
