You must file a return if advance payments of the premium tax credit were made for you, your spouse, or a dependent who enrolled in coverage through the Marketplace. You or whoever enrolled you should have received Form(s) 1095-A showing the amount of the advance payments.    each year stands on its own  advance payments would be in column C of the 1095-A 

I could not update my post,  I was going to say why Line 2 shows $4000 when it is the first time I am doing a Roth Conversion - it should have been zero, correct?     I am using TurboTax  software to file my income tax.   Thought I’d  share  the series of questions from Turbo Tax  pertaining to my Roth Conversion and my responses (AFTER I entered my Roth IRA Conversion 1099-R data) in chronological order (I took $20K from my Rollover IRA for the Roth Conversion for Tax Year 2025).   The Turbo Tax questions are in bolded text with my responses underlined as follows:   Question: Do any of these situations apply to you?  (Multiple choice answers listed below) (no) I took out this money due to a qualified disaster (no) I inherited this IRA (no) This is for a SIMPLE IRA within the first two years of participation only (no) This is for a SIMPLE IRA with more than two years of participation (no) This is for a SEP IRA (no) I moved some or all of this money to my HSA as a one-time contribution (no) I need to file a substitute 1099-R (no) The corrected box is checked on this 1099-R (YES) None of these apply 2.  Question: Tell us if you moved the money through a rollover or conversion”  (multiple choice response)      I  selected  “I converted some or all of it to a Roth IRA”    3. Question:  "Did you convert all of this $20,000.00 (Box 1) to a Roth IRA?”   YES   4.  Question  "Did you have any nondeductible IRA contributions to your traditional IRA from 2024 or prior years?”   NO   5.   Question “Enter the total value of all of your traditional IRA, SEP, and SIMPLE IRA accounts on December 31, 2025. This information is sent by mail on Form 5498. Do not include Roth IRAs”  I entered the total amount value of all my  existing pre-tax traditional IRA accounts    I  skipped the last question pertaining to  “Canadian Registered Pension Income” as it doesn't apply to me.   Did I make any mistake in any of my responses from  questions 1 and 5 that would prompt TurboTax to generate the cost basis for my Roth Conversion?      UPDATE: I checked the “IRA Information Worksheet”  line 1  “Total Basis in traditional IRAs” in my  TurboTax returns from 2017 thru 2024, and they are all showing the same value of $4000.
