Were these 1099-R forms to report a conversion of a traditional IRA conversion made in 2025 for your 2024 non-deductible traditional IRA contribution? If so, you would have had a Form 8606 filed in 2024 to report this contribution as non-deductible and you would have a basis in that IRA of the amount of that contribution. When you enter the 1099-R in TurboTax, you will go through screens after entering the 1099-R data in your return to get to a screen with a heading of Traditional IRAs asking if you had nondeductible IRA contributions to your traditional IRA from 2024 or prior years? You would answer that question yes. On the next screen it will ask you for the basis in that IRA, which would be found on your 2024 Form 8606 on Line 14 in Part I - should be $7000. Enter the amount of your non-deductible contribution from 2024 in that box, then Continue. Once you do that for both of your 1099-R forms for each of you, then 1040 line 4a will be $14,000 and line 4b will be 0.
Also go back in Deductions and Credits where you entered your 2025 traditional IRA contributions and enter $7,000 for the total basis as of December 31, 2024 in that area also.
Since you made 2025 non-deductible contributions, remember that you will have a 2025 Form 8606 that shows a $7,000 non-deductible traditional IRA contribution for each. These can be converted as a Backdoor Roth this year and reported on your 2026 taxes.
