Filing an amended return due to mistake regarding Roth IRA contribution

This is a follow on from my original post , but it took me a while to respond so think it fell off the radar.

https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/retirement/discussion/re-what-are-the-correct-steps-to-amend-my-re...

To summarize: I suspected we made a mistake when filing our 2023 return as it relates to backdooring our traditional into a Roth IRA, and when I went to try and file an amended return for 2023 I don’t believe the issue was corrected: the full distribution amount from 4a was in 4b, which I believe should have been blank (there were no earning before backdooring). The advice I received was to file a Form 8606 showing a non-deductible contribution unless I took a deduction for the traditional IRA contribution which would offset the tax. I wanted to confirm that we did not take a deduction, so I reviewed my 2023 return on TurboTax and there was no Schedule 1 included, so I believe we did not take a deduction. We’ve also never had a balance in either of our Traditional IRAs. I just want to confirm that I’ve reviewed all the correct steps and now should fill our the Form 8606?

Filing an amended return due to mistake regarding Roth IRA contribution

If you made a traditional IRA contribution for 2023 and it does not appear either as a deductible contribution on 2023 Schedule 1 or as a nondeductible contribution on 2023 Form 8606, you have failed to enter the traditional IRA contribution into TurboTax.

We backdoored a Roth IRA contribution, so it shouldn't show as a traditional contribution, right?
