After-Tax 401(k) Rolled to Traditional IRA then Converted to Roth

In 2024 I rolled over after-tax amounts to my Traditional IRA (instead of my Roth IRA).  After rolling the amounts over to my Traditional IRA, I converted the amounts to my Roth IRA.  The 1099-R that reports the conversion of Traditional IRA amounts to the Roth IRA includes the after-tax amounts in the gross distribution (box 1) and the taxable amount (box 2a), but also indicates that the taxable amount is not determined (I also converted other amounts from my Traditional IRA, including a backdoor IRA/Roth conversion).

 

Unfortunately, when TT computes my basis of my Traditional IRA 1099-R, it is not including the after-tax amounts from my 401(k) plan, but only my non-deductible IRA Contributions.  How do I increase the basis of my Traditional IRA 1099-R to include the after tax amounts from my 401(k) plan?

 

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.  As of now, I included a negative number as "Other Reportable Income" but that should not be the correct way to increase basis here.
