Retirement tax questions

You should not need to clear the entries you have already made, but you do need to go back through them to review.  

 

You are correct in saying that you did not transfer money from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA through recharacterization, so that is not causing the issue.

 

Use the steps outlined in the following TurboTax help article and be sure that this is the steps that you have followed.  It seems like the Traditional IRA contribution may not have been designated to be a non-deductible contribution.  This would affect the entries on Form 8606.

 

How do I enter a backdoor Roth IRA conversion?
