Retirement tax questions
This is tricky to enter into TurboTax since you converted the excess contribution to the Roth IRA.
To clarify, was you Traditional IRA $0 at the end of 2024? If yes, then you could enter the nondeductible Traditional IRA contribution in the IRA contribution interview to get the basis on Form 8606 line 1 for the backdoor Roth. When you get to the penalty screen at the end of the IRA contribution interview only enter the Roth IRA excess contribution amount as withdrawn.
If your balance is $0 then you won't get the 6% penalty calculated since this is calculated as the smaller of excess contribution or the value of your Roth IRAs on December 31, 2024 (including 2024 contributions made in 2025).
