2020 backdoor roth ira conversion. Numbers don't seem to be populating on the forms correctly. 

 

For instance:

1040: Contribution amounts being displayed on line 4c as a "pension and annuity" distribution. 

 

This doesn't seem correct.


That is not correct.    You can only do a backdoor Roth with a Traditional IRA distribution that must have the 1099-R IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box checked.   That is what puts it on the 1040 line 4a & 4b.
