Get your taxes done using TurboTax
1) Yes, you choose “I moved the money to another retirement account (or returned it to the same retirement account)” and then select “I did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out money” when you made a Roth conversion. I meant to say don't choose "rollover" and edited my answer above.
2) Yes, choose “I did a combination of rolling over, converting, or cashing out money.” and enter the amount next to "Amount converted to a Roth IRA account".
No, the traditional IRA account isn't similar to the Roth account because generally, it is a pre-tax account. Similar accounts for pre-tax accounts are for example 401(k) and traditional IRA. Similar accounts for after-tax accounts are 401(k) Roth and Roth IRA.
You will still select conversion for the funds moved from your traditional IRA to Roth IRA even when you had after-tax funds (nondeductible contributions = basis) in the traditional IRA. TurboTax will use Form 8606 to calculate the nontaxable part of your conversion since you had a basis. If you had no earnings and no other pre-tax funds then the full amount can be converted tax-free since you had the basis in the traditional IRA.
