Deductions & credits

After further scenario reviews and testing of calculations, TurboTax is treating the $6,000 2019 contribution as Non-Deductible (correct) and entering that amount on Line 1 of the newly created 8606.

Per the help on Form 8606, ALL data on the 8606 come from other entries and calculation's from TurboTax.

Without PREVIOUS non-deductible contributions, and a current year distribution, the program nets these items together, 


Your 2019 contribution  should be on the 8606 line 1. 

 

I am not sure what you mean by: "Without PREVIOUS non-deductible contributions, and a current year distribution, the program nets these items together,"    Nets (adds) what items together?   

 

Any prior year non-deductible contribution entered when  the 1099-R interview asks for them should be on the 8606 line 2.
