How to add backdoor Roth IRA information with contribution for this and previous tax year?

Always print a copy of your completed tax return for your records, and review it carefully before e-Filing.
You will need it if you are audited by the IRS, or to amend because a TurboTax update changes your return.
OR to make sure you did a Roth conversion correctly

Thanks a lot for your input. For 2018 I'm not putting in more than $6000, not quite sure if I'll get 8606 this time I think. Actually I opened my both IRA accounts in 2018, so I'm doing it for the first time. Yep, I keep all my returns 🙂 I did consult a tax advisor while doing the conversion, so I should be good.

you will have a 2018 8606 that shows your "prior years basis" is now zero.
mark the answer if this was helpful to you.

Hello, I am still very confused what actions to take. I have the same problem. After following the steps, I still see the 6% penalty in my case. What shall I do?
