Retirement tax questions

You should have a 2022 Form 8606 with a $7,000 from when you entered the nondeductible contribution on your 2022 tax return. This basis is entered during the interview (steps 9 & 10 during the IRA contribution interview or steps 11 & 12 during the retirement interview).

To enter the nondeductible contribution to the traditional IRA for 2023:

1. Open your return
2. Click “Deductions &Credits” on the top
3. Click "I'll choose what to work on"
4. Scroll down to “Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions” and click “Start”
5. Select “traditional IRA”
6. Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution?”
7. Enter the amount you contributed $7,500
8. Answer “No” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen
9. Answer the next questions until you get to “Any Nondeductible Contributions to Your IRA?” and select “Yes” if you had nondeductible contributions before this tax year
10. Enter your basis in the Traditional IRA from your 2022 Form 8606 line 14 (since you had a $7,000 basis for 2022)
11. On the “Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions” screen choose “Yes, make part of my IRA contribution nondeductible” and enter the amount (if you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a warning and then a screen saying $0 is deductible).
