Question

I contributed after tax money into traditional IRA, then I converted to Roth IRA from traditional IRA as back door option. Is that taxable? I have 1099-R.

    No.  Since you did not deduct the traditional contributions originally, the conversion of IRA contributions is not taxable.  However, any earnings that were converted to a Roth on top of the traditional contributions are taxable.  

     

    If you would like instructions to report the conversion in TurboTax, see: How do I enter a backdoor Roth IRA conversion?
