Excess Traditional IRA contribution in 2022 (completed 8606 form), but didn't enter anything for 2023

Hi -  I made a mistake in Y2022 taxes with an excess Traditional IRA contribution of $7000.  (I'm a senior).  For Y2022, I also contributed the maximum to a Self-Employed Individual 401K, making the $7000 non-deductible.   I didn't notice this since I trusted Turbotax's "max" Individual 401K calculation amount. However, the Turbotax calculation did NOT deduct the $7000 Traditional IRA contribution that i had already entered into Turbotax, so the $7000 ended up being excess.  I didn't take any distributions to correct this error.  In 2023, I didn't answer any Turbotax questions about an excess contribution since I thought Turbotax would carry the information forward year to year.  Stupid me.  I also contributed to a Traditional IRA in 2023 - $7500 and I can see I got the deduction.  Looking at my 2023 Turbotax tax return and all worksheets, I don't see a form 8086.  Am I supposed to fill this form out every year?  Will 2023 be an issue if I didn't answer the Turbortax questions that i had an excess contribution?  The Turbotax 2023 IRA Worksheet Line 15 "Excess traditional IRA contributions to Form 5329, line 15" shows "0".   I don't know how to fix Turbotax for 2023, or 2024 (should I say there was an excess contribution?), or the actual excess contribution $$$.  It's too late for a distribution correction for 2022.  I hope someone can provide me some guidance as this is all way over my head.  Thank you.
