Retirement tax questions
To clarify, was the value of all of her traditional/SEP/SIMPLE IRAs $0 on December 31, 2024? If not and she had pre-tax funds in her IRA then pro-rata rule applies. This means that with each distribution/ conversion you will have a taxable and nontaxable part. You can see the remaining basis on line 14 of Form 8606, this basis can be carried forward.
You entered her $6,500 basis from the 2023 Form 8606 line 14 when TurboTax asks about her prior nondeductible contributions?
