Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Your basis goes back to $0 once you complete your backdoor Roth conversion.

 

The whole idea of a backdoor Roth is to put after tax money into a Roth so you don't have to do a taxable conversion. This is done by funding a Traditional IRA with after tax dollars and moving that into a Roth when your income is too high to make a normal Roth conversion.
