Form 8606 with Backdoors for both Traditional IRA and SEP-IRA

Hi,

 

In Form 8606, Line 1, should that include all traditional IRA accounts (including SEP-IRA which I understand is a type of traditional IRA)?

 

I started doing freelancing on the side 4 years ago.  I have made contributions to my SEP-IRA based on my 1099 income.  Every year, I made sure the account balance is $0 (or very closed to it) for both my SEP-IRA and Traditional IRA by immediately converting all the after tax contributions to my Roth IRA (backdoor conversion).  However, I just discovered that Turbotax has not generated Form 8606 for the past 4 years (I neglected to answer all the questions under Personal>"Choose What I work on">"Deduction and Credits">"Retirement & Investments" in Turbotax even though I imported all tax forms from my IRA custodian).   I am trying to find out how to properly document Form 8606 so it doesn't cause problems for me in the future.  Thanks.
