Retirement tax questions

It would would have been helpful for all of the related posts to be kept to one thread.  your other thread indicated that you had made a $6,000 contribution for 2022, so it would seem that the amount on line 2 came from line 14 of your 2022 Form 8606 due to the contribution for 2022 being nondeductible.  Given that your 2023 year-end balance in traditional IRAs was zero, it seems to me that your 2023 tax return is correct as long as the Roth conversion is shown on Part II of your 2023 Form 8606 and the IRS has made an error in claiming that your Roth conversion is taxable.
