  3. Select Start or Edit to the right of Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions.
  4. Check the boxes for the type of IRA accounts you have and select Continue.
  5. Answer the next few screens according to your situation.
  6. When you get to Any Nondeductible Contributions to Your IRA? answer Yes, then select Continue.
  7. If you know your IRA basis, you can enter the basis as of December 31 of the prior year in the box provided.
  8. If you aren't sure about your basis, select Easy Guide. The program will walk you through figuring out your basis. 
  9. Continue through the section until you return to the Income Summary.
