Retirement tax questions

You can trigger Form 8606 with these instructions:

  1. Sign in to your TurboTax account.
  2. Open your return, if it isn't already open.
  3. Inside TurboTax, search for this exact phrase: IRA Contribution Information.
  4. Select the Jump to link in the search results.  Or Click on Federal tab > Deductions & Credits > Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions > Edit/Add box.
  5. Proceed through the IRA section, answering questions as you go.
  6. Answer Yes when you reach the screen, Any Nondeductible Contributions to Your IRA?
  7. Select Continue.
  8. We'll generate and fill out the 8606 behind the scenes.

Tip: On joint returns, 8606-T stands for "taxpayer" (first person listed on the return) and 8606-S denotes "spouse."
