I have been doing backdoor roth for more than 10 years. However, starting tax year 2021, I noticed that turbotax is capturing the amount on line 14 for form 8606. This is the amount on line 14 for each of the years: year 2021- $6,000 year 2022- $12,000 year 2023 - $18,500 year 2024 - $25,500 I have always moved the balance from my traditional ira into roth. However, i noticed that I did not move interest paid on the traditional ira balance into roth by the end of the year, so there was a balance carried over to the next year. Could this be causing an issue? Is the amount shown on line 14 for each of those years correct, or do I need to re-file the form for any of the prior years? My understanding was that as long as I move the money into roth, the balance on line 14 should be 0. I plan to move all the interest paid for this years contribution into roth this year itself, so the balance on my traditional ira will be 0. Could I possibly have double paid taxes on this balance for any of the prior years because of this balance on line 14?
