Similar to last year Turbotax is generating incorrect form 8606.I am using premier online version. I entered 1099-R details, followed prompts and selected the non taxable options. The total basis is being incorrectly reported.This happened last year as well but I noticed this only this year.I've filed an amendment for last year but I want to make sure I file this year's form 8606 correctly.

 

I cannot access the form to edit and fix it. Just before filing I can view all the forms and I see the issue.How can I fix this?  In the below image, line 13 should be 0 and total basis should be 18,000.

why is that distribution not showing on Line 7?


Yes, a conversion will reduce the basis in your traditional IRA. 

 

TurboTax is using Worksheet 1-1. Figuring the Taxable Part of Your IRA Distribution to calculate the nontaxable portion on line 13 (indicated by the * next to it). Therefore, lines 6 through 12 are empty.

Please check your return for the "Taxable IRA distribution Worksheet"
