If 8606 reports non-deductible and calculates ones cost basis. I don't have either of these. Each year I do Roth conversion(s) and pay income tax on that amount in the quarter(s). I thought that was a back-door Roth. Each year TT adds an 8606 and only fills in lines 16 & 18 in part 2. This past year the 8606 was not added. I just discovered this and have to assume that a mistake was made. The root cause is still a mystery as it probably lies in one of the many questions TT asks in the process. By now the 5498 has been received and if the IRS wants the 8606, they will surely let me know. I'd prefer to get another's reply, since it's clear what Critter thinks. On a side note, is there any way to reduce the badge-er-ing emails ? This is a serious forum and those are just too silly. Appreciate your response.
