Form 8606 line 10 has an x is this a bug?  When I print my tax return I noticed there is an x in line 10 in form 8606.  I have no distribution or IRA conversion.  Just nondeductible contribution in 2025 and 8606 is completed for new basis calculation.  What may be putting the letter "x" in line 10 and will this cause a problem as there should be nothing in that field or line?

    That seems to  be a preprinted x on the actual form.  You can ignore it.

    Wow, Thank you.  Did not think the actual 8606 form had that x character in line 10.

    Oh I guess it’s because you are supposed to multiply line 8 times line 10.    So “8  x10=”
