IRA distribution offset

Look at the 8606, did he have a prior year non-deductible IRA thats wiping it out?

Wait, I just re-read what you wrote, why did you enter it as a contribution?  the software doesnt know its been more than 60 day, but you do, so it cant be a rollover and hes not allowed to make a contribution if hes got no earned income.

The taxpayer withdrew $5000 from IRA in 2023. He does not have any earned income in 2023 and it is past 60 days for rollover to another IRA. I entered $5000 into 2023 contribution (in Pro Series) and although it is not deductible, it made prior distribution nontaxable. Line 4b was $5000 and now is $0. Is that correct?

I entered IRA contribution as a new contribution in the new contribution worksheet.  For rollovers within 60 days there is a section on 1099-R distribution worksheet. This contribution didn't carry over to the rollover section. Although there is no earned income, I thought there was something else that created this offset.
