Ira to Roth conversion

When a distribution is taken from a Traditional IRA and then converted to a Roth IRA, nothing is entered in the Deductions and Credits section of the tax return with regard to contributing to the Roth IRA.  Money put into a Roth IRA through a conversion is not considered to be a contribution to the Roth IRA.

The distribution from the Traditional IRA is reported on Form 1099-R, which is entered in the Income section of the tax return.  After entering the Form 1099-R, the follow-up questions will indicate that the money was converted to a Roth IRA.  

There is no limit for the amount that can be converted from a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, unlike the limit for making an IRA contribution.  Just be sure to enter the basis in the Traditional IRA so that the correct taxable amount can be determined.
