I made a small RMD in December 2020. When entering the Form 1099R info, TurboTax does not ask for the total value of my IRAs as of 12/31/2020 so that the new basis for 2021 can be calculated on Form 8606?

If the program does not ask, you can go directly to the Form 8606 section by following these steps:

In TurboTax online,

Sign in to your account and select Pick up where you left off in your tax return.
From the upper right menu, select Search and type in 1099r and Enter
Select the Jump to 1099r
Follow prompts
On screen, Any Nondeductible Contributions to Taxpayer's IRA?, select Yes
Next screen, Let's Find Your IRA Basis, enter information
Continue to proceed

It is important to keep track how the basis amount is accumulated and calculated. For more information for the nondeductible IRA contributions, click here: Form 8606
