Line 11 of the IRA Contributions Worksheet, contributions made to Trad IRA in 2020Q1, does not seem to be transferred to line 4 of Form 8606. I had to override line 4 on 8606. Am I missing something?


Further testing shows that you are correct if the contribution is the only entry because line 4 on  the 8606 is not needed for any calculations.   If you also have a 1099-R for a distribution then  lines 4-15 will populate to calculate the proper taxable amount.
