IRA Basis incorrect in Turbotax Premier 2021
In 2021 Turbotax Premier, the value displayed for "Total Basis as of December 31, 2020," $1,792, is incorrect.
My 2019 Form 8606 shows my "...total basis..." on Line 2 = $3,209 and my "...nontaxable portion..." on Line 12 = $132. The remaining basis would be $3,209 - $132 = $3,077.
In 2020, Turbotax did not generate a Form 8606. Since RMDs were not required in 2020, my only IRA distribution, for $1,285, went entirely to charity. Now Turbotax 2021 tells me that my remaining basis is $1,792.
Apparently, Turbotax has subtracted my charitable distribution from my basis! ($3,077-$1,285=$1,792)
What do I need to do to correct this?
