Your checks to the church are considered charitable contributions.   You can deduct these on your tax return (subject to limitations).    Here is how to enter the contributions in TurboTax Online, from How do I enter my charitable donations in TurboTax?"   Go to the Donations to Charity screen under Deductions & Credits.

To fix this, you should not report the March contribution as a 2025 contribution. Instead, that March amount belongs on the 2024 tax return. If you chose to make it nondeductible, it belongs on Form 8606. If you missed it last year, you can file the form on its own.   The Roth Conversion part is handled differently. Even though the contributions belong to different years, the act of moving the money to Roth happened entirely in 2025. So, you will report the total amount converted.    You do not mention if you chose to make your 2025 contribution non-deductible.  If so, you are performing a "backdoor" Roth conversion, you already paid tax so you won't be taxed again. To review the steps in full to create a backdoor Roth conversion, here is a reference: How do I enter a backdoor Roth IRA conversion?
