Retirement tax questions

@Critter - The OP said: "2019: Turbotax showing $46 as IRA distributions - nontaxable and $5454 as IRA distributions - taxable".

 

If only $46 was in the account at years end then not all of the $5500 contribution would be tax free but most of it would be.    $5,554 would not be taxable.  It seems that the 2018 $5,500 contribution was never entered as a non-deductible contribution to offset the majority of the tax.
