If you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit you will not get the “Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions” screen. It will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a warning and then a screen saying $0 is deductible.
Please be aware, that the contribution will be entered on your 2021 tax return since you are making a contribution for 2021 in 2022. But the conversion will happen in 2022 and therefore you will report the conversion when you get your 2022 Form 1099-R on your 2022 tax return.
To verify, you only entered the traditional IRA contribution and no other contribution? Did you have enough taxable compensation to make the contribution? If you did and only contributed $6,000 ($7,000 if you're age 50 or older) then you shouldn't have an excess contribution penalty.
If you do not have any after-tax contributions in your traditional IRA from prior years then your basis from prior years would be $0.
