Since you are seeing messages on the screen about Roth IRA contributions being over the limit allowed, you need to review the step-by-step instructions again to be certain that you enter a Traditional IRA contribution and not a Roth IRA contribution.
The money is first placed in a Traditional IRA and it is deemed non-deductible on your tax return through Form 8606. This Traditional IRA is then converted to a Roth IRA. This transaction is reported on your Form 1099-R showing the distribution from the Traditional IRA.
Putting money into a Roth IRA in this manner is not considered to be a contribution to that Roth IRA.
For reference, see the following TurboTax help article:
