Yes, I had an 8606 for 2018 and nondeductible contributions. My total basis on line 14 was zero.
Hmm, so, I should enter zero in box 1 (gross distribution) and 2a (taxable amount) for my 2019 1099-R?
Were the 2018 contributions on line 1 on the 8606 and did you also have a 2018 1099-R for a 2018 distribution? The only way a 2018 contribution on line 1 would be zero on line 14 would be if the line 1 contribution was used to offset the tax on a 2018 distribution on lines 6-15.
