I am filling out my taxes on FreeTaxUSA and I needed some help regarding creating Form 8606. I had asked for advice on my situation earlier; if anyone is curious to read, the post is: "viewtopic.php?p=7699101#p7699101"
To summarize my situation:
In October 2023, I deposited $6500 of after-tax money into a Traditional IRA.
In January 2024, I did a Roth conversion of the entire Traditional IRA balance.
Thus, I need to fill out Form 8606 for the 2023 tax year for the nondeductible contribution to my Traditional IRA and then fill out Form 8606 for the 2024 tax year for the Roth Conversion.
I have manually filled out the Form 8606 for each year as the following listed below:
For 2023, Form 8606 comes out as follows:

My question is how can I generate Form 8606 with the following info I listed for 2023? I filled out the IRA Contributions section as follows in the picture below, and all that is generating is an "IRA Deduction Worksheet—Schedule 1 Line 20". I don't see any place that generated the Form 8606. If it matters, my income for 2023 was $64,695, so it seems that FreeTaxUSA is forcing me to treat my TIRA contribution as deductible, which I do not want.
