I rolled over an after tax 401k (firm 1) to another brokerage IRA (firm 2). I then did a Roth conversion on the firm 2 IRA to a firm 2 Roth. The 1099-R from firm 1 shows rollover and the appropriate taxable amount with distribution code G (no problems there). The firm 2 shows taxable amount not determined with distribution code 2 (also expected).   Nowhere in Turbo Tax am I seeing where it asked me about whether any part of the firm 2 rollover (where taxable amount couldn't be determined) was already after-tax. Instead Turbo Tax treated that rollover amount as taxable. I believe it should be asking this question and populating Part III question 14 of the IRA Information Worksheet (IRA Info Wks).   Help on that section even specifically covers this scenario saying, "if you had a rollover of a qualified employer retirement plan, such as a 401k, to a traditional IRA and part of the amount that was rolled over was after tax contributions to the retirement plan, these after tax contributions are not taxable and therefore become part of the traditional IRA basis.   Enter the non-taxable part of any rollover from a qualified employer retirement plan to a traditional IRA [on line 14]."   I was able to go into that section and enter the number which then properly updated.   But either I'm missing where you can enter this in the "EasyStep" sections or it's a bug that it did not ask about it when the taxable amount was not able to be determined.
