This help page presents instructions on where to find Form 8606. It says to search for IRA Contribution Information in TurboTax Desktop: Select Search Topics. When I click on Search, a chatbot sidebar is loaded where I can choose for a predefined set of options. I am not able to enter text into a search bar.
I have also tried going through the IRA deduction settings, and am unable to trigger the program to include Form 8606. The reason may be that the form is not included in last year's return, and now the program believes I don't need 8606, but this form is important for tracking nondeductible contributions to an IRA over time. It should be OPTIONAL to include this. Has to program been designed so that it is only possible if you have made a nondeductible contribution in the year for which you are filing?
