" for 2023, I contributed $6500 to my IRA and performed the backdoor roth conversion in April 2024 before tax day."
That conversion gets reported on your 2024 Tax return, not your 2023 tax return. Although CONTRIBUTIONS, for tax year 2023, were allowed until 4-15-24, a CONVERSION must have been done by 12-31-23.
"And for 2024 I contributed $7000 and performed the conversion in April 2025 before tax day."
Same thing. That conversion does not get reported until next year (when you file your 2025 tax return).
