TurboTax automatically generates IRS Form 8606 if you reported any of these on your tax return:
- Nondeductible contributions made to a traditional IRA
- Distributions from a traditional, SEP or SIMPLE IRA that had nondeductible contributions (excluding rollovers, conversions, recharacterizations, qualified charitable distributions, one-time distribution to fund an HSA, or return of certain contributions)
- Conversions from a traditional, SEP, or SIMPLE IRA to a Roth IRA
- Distributions from a Roth IRA (other than rollovers, recharacterizations, or a return of certain contributions)
To trigger IRS Form 8606 in TurboTax, follow these instructions:
- Open your return if it isn't already open.
- Inside TurboTax, search for this exact phrase, including the comma: 8606, nondeductible IRA contributions
- Select the Jump to link in the search results.
- Proceed through the IRA section, answering questions as you go.
- When you reach the screen Any nondeductible contributions to your IRA? answer Yes, then continue. We'll generate and fill out the 8606 behind the scenes.
