Taxpayer did backdoor IRA in 2022.  He has taxable IRA in another brokerage firm and has basis on that account.  Taxpayer does not qualified for tax deductible IRA.

I input as instructed by Lacerte.  But, I also enter $6000 under "2022 nondeductible contribution" because he contributed in 2022 already.  

1.  If I do not enter this $6000 for 2022 contribution, Lacerte's client letter show that taxpayer should withdraw right away to avoid penalty.  And, Form 8606 Line 1 for current year contribution $6000 is missing.  Somehow, Lacerte does not recognize this as "non-deductible IRA".

2.  But, if I input 2022 $6,000 non-deductible IRA contribution, Form 8606 Line 6 will show "0".  But the worksheet calculated correctly.  Problem is I do not know how to change the worksheet to statements so that IRS can see the calculation.

I do not have this problem for 2021 Lacerte program....
