This find has actually shocked me as I had not thought I had done this...
But, I was looking at some of my older tax returns since I was talking to my sister about how much I used to pay in taxes and how little I do now... she still pays as her and her DH both have pensions plus investment income...
While looking at my 2007 tax return I noticed that I had form 8606, non-deductible IRA contributions... I do not remember making these but it is there on the return... I cannot find a PDF of the 2008 yet, but I doubt I did anything as I was laid off and also got married then...
So, anybody with experience with having a basis in an IRA? Do I have to deal with this the rest of my life when I start taking out distributions?
I know I did conversions to ROTH, but I think I did those before this contribution but will have to go back and look....
Man, what a pain
Edit to add.... this is even more strange... I do not have an tIRA that I can find at the time... my tIRA is a rollover from my work done in 2014... my money was either in my 401(k) or a ROTH....
Now I have to go back even farther and see what I did.... this is going to take awhile... and I might not even do anything as it was $9K and the tax savings on that spread out will probably be a rounding error...
