Incorrect basis Backdoor Roth

Turbotax thinks both my husband and I have 6000 in basis from last year. We have no funds in a traditional IRA. We have rolled over funds in time to a roth. How do I fix this? Do I need to download the desktop version so I can manually do form 8606?

Thanks so much for all and any help!!
