How to Correct Backdoor Roth 1099-R When Contributed for both 2020 and 2021 in 2021

Hello,

 

I did a backdoor Roth IRA contribution in 2021 for both 2021 and 2020. I contributed 12k to my Traditional IRA, then converted all that to a Roth in early 2021 -- 6k for 2020 and 6k for 2021. 

 

Now, my 20211099-R is showing a 12k distribution, but my basis for 2020 in my 8606 is 6k. 

 

Right now the federal tax is incorrect. I see two options to make the software report the correct federal tax due: 

1. Change the IRA basis to be 12k.

2. Manually change the value reported in the 1099-R to be 6k. 

 

Anyone know how to correctly handle this situation in TurboTax?
