Get your taxes done using TurboTax

It seems that your Form 8606 for 2017, 2018, 2019, and 2020 are wrong. For the years 2017-2019 the basis on line 14 should be $0 and for 2020 it should be the contribution amount for 2020 ($6,000).

 

Do you have the lines 6-12 on Form 8606 filled out or a star next to line 13? Also, if you entered the conversion correctly you should have part II of Form 8606 filled out.

 

Please review the steps to enter the conversion:

 

  1. Click "Federal Taxes" on the top and select "Wages & Income"
  2. Click "I'll choose what to work on"
  3. Scroll down and click "Start" next to "IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan (1099-R)
  4. Answer "Yes" to the question "Did You Have Any of These Types of Income?"
  5. Click "I'll Type it Myself"
  6. Choose "Form 1099-R, Withdrawal of Money from 401(k) Retirement Plans, Pensions, IRAs, etc."
  7. Click "Continue" and enter the information from your 1099-R
  8. Answer questions until you get to “What Did You Do With The Money” and choose “I moved it to another retirement account
  9. Then choose “I did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out money.” and enter the amount next to "Amount converted to a Roth IRA account"
  10. On the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen click "continue"
  11. Answer "yes" to "Any nondeductible Contribution to your IRA?" if you had any nondeductible contributions in prior years.
  12. Answer the questions about the basis from line 14 of your 2020 Form 8606 (should be $6,000) and the value of all traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs
