Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You will need to enter the $6,000 contribution for 2020 on your 2020 tax return. TurboTax will create Form 8606 with a $6,000 basis on line 14. You will enter this basis on your 2021 tax return when TurboTax asks about the prior basis / prior nondeductible contributions (steps 8 and 9). Please see How do I amend my 2020 return?

On your 2021 tax return to enter the nondeductible contribution to the traditional IRA:

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions” 
3. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
4. Select “traditional IRA”
5. Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution?”
6. Enter the amount you contributed for 2021 $6,000
7. Answer “No” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen
8. Answer the next questions until you get to “Any Nondeductible Contributions to Your IRA?” and select “Yes” since you had a nondeductible contribution before this tax year.
9. Enter your $6,000 basis in the Traditional IRA from your 2020 Form 8606 line 14.
10. On the “Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions” screen choose “Yes, make part of my IRA contribution nondeductible” and enter the amount (if you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a warning and then a screen saying $0 is deductible).
