I think I sorted it out. So for 2024 tax return I simply state "Deductions and Credits -> Retirement and Investments -> Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions" (backdated) to add Form-8608-T that will track after-tax contribution to TradIRA. And this will be the difference between the amended and original tax return. Then, for 2025, I will do the same deduction ($7k). Form-8606-T should state $7k 2025 contribution and $7k from previous years (in my case only 2024), after-tax contribution to TradIRA. Then, I will add 1099-R for 2025 tax year that I received from my bank that is purely about distribution from TradIRA. I will state conversion to RothIRA for $14k that happened in 2025 (whole amount, not backdated in any fraction).   And then, per my understanding, because I attach Form-8608-T the TradIRA money is excluded from being taxed again (added to income) as it was taxed already.   That makes sense but it is very hard to understand that and properly input to TurboTax and verify. Thank you @baldietax very very much for all the responses. They were very helpful.

In 2024, I contributed directly $7000 to a Roth IRA, then realized I was over the max income to contribute to the Roth IRA. To resolve that problem, I recharacterized the $7000 to a Traditional IRA, and then did a backdoor Roth IRA contribution by converting the $7000 in the Traditional IRA back to the Roth IRA.   Unfortunately, I made another mistake. In 2025, just before I filed my taxes for year 2024, I (mistakenly) contributed an extra $1000 to my Traditional IRA for 2024 contribution year instead of the intended 2025 contribution year putting me at $8000 of IRA contributions for 2024.   To fix this, in August 2025, I paid the IRS the 6% penalty of the extra $1000 contributed, and then withdrew the $1000. I also amended my 2024 taxes to account for the extra contribution.   Now, I'm trying to figure out what I need to put on my 2025 taxes. If it helps, I received two 1099-Rs from my stock broker, one for Traditional IRA and one for Roth IRA. The Traditional IRA 1099-R states in box 1 that my gross distribution is $8000. The Roth IRA 1099-R states in box 1 that my gross distribution is $1000. As a reminder, I did a backdoor Roth IRA conversion in the 2025 tax year as well.   How do I account for all of this in TurboTax? Do I just enter in both 1099-Rs? Do I just do what TurboTax advises on how to account for a backdoor Roth IRA conversion, because it appears their directions only advise on entering information from your Traditional IRA. I'm just really confused. Any help would be great! Thanks.

Your spouse can't be your dependent.  Please clarify if you filed Married Filing Separately (MFS).    Form 8379 can be filed separately if the injured spouse finds out after the IRS seizes the refund.   For additional information, refer to the TurboTax article What is IRS Form 8379: Injured Spouse Allocation?   If you would like to file Form 8379 separately, refer to Form 8379-Injured Spouse and Form 8379 Instructions.  
if this is foreign real estate, 30 years is the proper life. but you can't change without filing Form 3115. 
It's asking for 2024, and I have the taxes I filed with Turbotax last year, but do not see anything like this.
I reviewed the questions. They were no help to me. This is why I asked for a person.
If I took my spouse as a dependent and child support took my federal can I file a 8379
