non-deductible IRA contribution question

In 2023, I made a non-tax deductible contribution to my traditional IRA. My broker said that I could recharacterize this contribution in which the $6500 would be returned and I would need to pay taxes on any gains, which I'm doing this year (it was comingled accidentally in pre-tax funds). I'm now going through the process of doing this year's backdoor ROTH IRA, and I have to answer the question of whether I have ever made non-deductible contributions before. I didn't receive a form 8606 in 2023. Should I answer yes, zero out the cost basis or answer no? I have a 2022 8606 with a cost basis, so I wasn't sure if I should include that figure.

Thank you for the help.
