Retirement tax questions

Line 2 = 5500.

 

A 401(k) rollover does not get entered on 8606 at all unless you had a non-deducible basis in the 401(k).   That is usually reported with a separate 1099-R for the 401(k) rollover but could all be on one 1099-R and would be in box 5.  Then you could add that amount to line 1 on the 8606 for the year of the 401(k) rollover.
