Retirement tax questions

The line 2 carry forward amount should come from line 14 of the last 8606 filed.  If the carried over amount is not shown at all then that happens sometimes, but I have never seen the carry over amount, if present, to be different than line 14 from the last 8606.      Have you looked at last 14 of the last 8606?
