What step does not match?
Note that my answer says: "Be SURE to answer the follow up that the are choosing to make this contribution NON-DEDUCTIBLE - if that screen comes up."
A backdoor Roth only works if the Traditional IRA contribution is non-deductible. It may or may not qualify for a deduction if your MAGI is under the phase-out amount and you are not covered by a retirement plan at work. You don't want the deduction for a Backdoor Roth. That screen won't come up unless it is all or partially deductible.
Also, your IRA and your spouses IRA are totally separate and cannot be combined.
