Solved

Issues reporting backdoor Roth conversion. Have my 1099-R data in "Wages & Income". Trying to add "Form 8606" in "Deductions & Credits" but only creates "Form 5498"

Thank you. Found that Help Doc yesterday and was able to complete it.

Wish they would have made this a simpler process. Generate Form 8606 when inputing Form 1099-R, instead of making a 2 separate steps . The most confusing part is there is no info in the App that Form 8606 has been generated until you look inside tax summary.

so are you good, or do you still have an issue?

(Turbotax could probably link the two sections more easily, but financially it's two separate transactions so they can't really trigger a contribution just based on a 1099-R as it's only half the process).
