Go to Deductions & Credits -> Retirement and Investments -> Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions and proceed through the pages until TurboTax asks if you made any nondeductible traditional IRA contributions.  Answer Yes, then enter your basis from years prior to 2017 (from line 14 of your 2016 Form 8606).
