In Forms view, review Form 8606, because it calculates the taxable portion of your Roth conversion and carries that amount to Form 1040 line 5b. 

 

If you already filed, you’ll need to start an amended return (Form 1040-X) in the same TurboTax account used for the original filing. The amendment will begin with your original return and the refund meter will reset to $0, showing only the changes you make. You generally have 3 years from the date you filed or 2 years from when you paid the tax (whichever is later) to file an amendment.
