I will try your recommendations, but believe I've already took that path. I seem to get taxed again on the nondeductible amounts. As though the information does not create appropriate 8606's or the software does not take into consideration that all the 1099-R distributions were from nondeductibles and the conversions were moved to ROTH retirement accounts. I will retry and let you know how it turned out. I appreciate the help.

 Please be aware that the whole distribution will show as income on the summary screen which shows gross income, not taxable income. To verify that the entry is correct please look at form 1040 line 4b (taxable amount).
You can preview Form 1040:
1.On the left side of your screen, select Tax Tools, then Tools.
2. Under Tool Center, select View Tax Summary.
3. On the left side of your screen, select Preview my 1040.

Can you help enter the question about basis so I can  not see my amount due increase?
Also, maybe the problem is that my issuer has put in box 2a Taxable Amount the same value as in box 1 (the distributed amount); the issuer is not aware of the contribution back to a ROTH IRA... Will the action you recommended take care of that or should I be re-issued a new 1099-R?

[DanaB]

When you enter the basis (nondeductible contribution amount) this should take care of it without needing a new 1099-R. Of course the earnings in the account that are converted will be taxable.

of course I'm expecting to pay taxe on any earnings, if any... I just hope that I'm entering the basis corectly. Let me give it a try.
