For the life of me I can't get it to let me enter back door roth. Put 7k non-deductible (post tax) into my Trad IRA, several dayslater rolled it over to Roth IRA. Have a 1099-R from trad IRA. Turbotax will not account for this, keeps reducingmy refund.

    This still did not work.  I've been working on it for hours, read this article, others articles.  The info in that article doesn't correct the entry problem.  As soon as I enter my 1099-R my deduction drops massively and never recovers even though it was a post tax non-deductible contirbution.
