Retirement tax questions

I have an issue where I contributed $12,000 to the backdoor roth ira.  Since it was for 2 different years it meets the limit of $6,000 per year and should not result in me paying any additional taxes.  However, I do not have any idea on how to enter this so that it doesn't increase my taxes (as it should not).  I would appreciate it if someone shares the step by step instruction to do this.  Thanks in advance.
