Client took a distribution from a non deductible IRA.  He contributed the money back in 2005 thru 2007, Basis $8000.  Took the total IRA valued at $16644.  The  1099R shows 16644 total, 16644 Taxable, with code 7.  Form 8606 has been filed in previous years, showing the 8000. How do I show this in Lacerte, so that he is not taxed on the whole thing?

Screen 24 Form 8606 (Part I) should already have the IRA basis for 2017 and earlier years. ($8,000)

Screen 13 Form 8606 in the lower left Section - be sure to enter the Value of alll.... as on 12/31/18. (Use -1 for Zero, if appropriate)

Assume they ONLY had that one non deductible IRA, the $8,644 should show up as the taxable portion.

He did only have the one... However, I put -1 in screen 13 lower section because the value as of 12/31/18 was zero... He actually took the money in September... I even tried putting in the 16644 in that field... the taxable amount is still 16644.  What am I doing wrong?
