Trouble with Backdoor Roth IRA for myself and spouse
Hello community! Here's my situation: In 2023 my spouse and I both contributed $6,500 apiece ($13k in total) to a Traditional IRA and then immediately rolled over the money into a Roth IRA (backdoor Roth). My spouse also contributed $6k in January 2023 to count for a 2022 Roth IRA contribution. This means we contributed $19k in total in 2023, $6k of which applied to 2022. For some reason on TurboTax, $6k of which is showing up as "Taxable" - see screenshot below. I can't figure this out and believe I'm paying higher taxes here. Any help appreciated!
