Was the value of your traditional/SEP/SIMPLE IRAs on December 31, 2021, more than $0 (you had pre-tax funds left in the account)?
If yes, then the pro-rata rule applies and each conversion/distribution will have a taxable and nontaxable part. You can see the remaining basis on line 14 of Form 8606, this basis can be carried forward. Therefore each distribution/conversion in the future will have a taxable and nontaxable part until the basis is all used.
The Backdoor Roth only works if your traditional/SEP/SIMPLE IRAs are empty. If you plan to use this strategy in the future you might want to think about a reverse rollover where you rollover IRA money to a company plan, like a 401(k). Only pre-tax funds can be rolled from an IRA to a company plan. Therefore, you would isolate the basis and could start the Backdoor Roth procedure fresh. But it only works if your employer allows it, not all plans do.
