That sounds like the expected behavior.
Like I said, you make the Traditional IRA contribution non-deductible " If that question comes up".
When you are covered by a retirement plan at work and your MAGI exceeds the IRA deduction limits the contribution will automatically be non-deductible because it cannot be deducted.
You can print all forms and worksheets and look at the 8606 form. Your 2018 non-deductible contribution should be on line 1, the total year end IRA values on line 6, and the taxable calculations on lines 7-17.
The taxable amount should be on the 1040 line 4b, and if done correctly, the contributions offset the tax, and the year end IRA value of zero, the taxable amount on 4b will be zero.
