So far, 2020 form 8606 shows: 

line 3: 6000

line 14: 3

line 16: 12000

line 17: 5997

line 18: 6003

 

I did put IRA basis as of Dec 31, 2019 as 6000 (because the money sits in traditional IRA and was not converted), is that correct?


I should have asked for lines 1 & 2 also.   $6,000 on line 3 indicates that either line 1 is blank and you did not enter the 2020 non-deductible contribution or line 2 is blank and you did not enter line 14 form the 2019 8606 in the 1099-R interview when it asked for the past years non-deductible contributions.
