I am looking at a Form 5498 from 2014 tax year for my Roth IRA and it definitely, shows in Box 10 Roth IRA contributions. This form came from my financial institution. Somewhere in TT Premier it asked me if I made any contributions to a Roth IRA (actually my spouse and I both did to our separate Roth IRA's). TT put the contribution into the IRA information Worksheet and the Roth IRA Contribution Limit Worksheet. While none of the contribution numbers end up on a form that gets filed with the IRS, both of the worksheets say at the top "Keep for your records".
That is a totally different subject from the question of this thread which was about a a partial Roth contribution and a part rollover back to the original IRA. The conversion amount would be on the 5498 box 3 and the amount rolled back would be in box 2.
What you describe in box 10 is a NEW cash contribution to a Roth IRA and has nothing to do with a conversion or rollover that is the subject of this thread. Such a new contribution to a Roth does not get reported on a tax return at all but you can enter it into TurboTax so TurboTax can track your contributions (or tell you if you contributed too much). Nothing gets reported on your tax return or reported to the IRS other than the 5498 that the financial institution reports to the IRS.
