Backdoor Roth for 2020 and 2021 - half is showing as taxable
I'm following the instructions at https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-enter-a-backdoor-roth-ira-convers... and https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/back-door-roth-ira/01/2552058#M168628, but TurboTax is still taxing half of my backdoor Roth IRA contribution.
In early 2021, I contributed $12,000 to my traditional IRA. $6000 for 2020, and $6000 for 2021. A few days after each contribution, I converted it to a Roth IRA. I also said my basis was $0.
In TurboTax, in the 1099-R shows the $12,000 distribution. I entered in as described on the site. But line 4b on my 1040 still lists $6000.
For tax year 2017, I did this incorrectly and got a letter from IRS. Through help on this site, I got it corrected. So I'm trying to make sure I do it right this time.
