Traditional IRA contribution question

[CP01]

Hi,

How would I answer the following question: (don't remember seeing this question before)

Traditional IRAs

Did you have any nondeductible IRA contributions to your traditional IRA from 2024 or prior years?

Nondeductible contributions are tracked on Form 8606 in prior years returns.

Yes 

No

I been contributing $100 a month ($1200 a year) to my traditional IRA and enter this in contribution screen in TT for years and receive form 8606 and had $1200 is listed in lines 1,2 and 14 in the form (unless I been doing it wrong all these years) Please help and if I did it wrong how would I fix it for all those years. I'm using windows desktop version.
