Yes. Enter your actual contribution even if you don’t get a deduction. As Tax Expert @MarilnG1 says, TurboTax will put your after-tax basis on Form 8606. That shows IRS you contributed after-tax money so your withdrawals won’t be 100% taxed when you retire.
If your contributions are nondeductible, consider recharacterizing them to a Roth IRA (assuming you are under the income limits). A Roth generally offers more advantages than a nondeductible traditional IRA contribution because your earnings are tax-free upon withdrawal.
With a nondeductible traditional IRA, only your after-tax contributions are tax-free.
You can recharacterize until you file your tax return. If you file an extension, you have until the extension deadline.
