The only place that you would enter after-tax traditional 401(k) contributions into TurboTax is on the Retirement Savings Contributions Credits section, if you qualify.  Proceed through this section and enter the amount in the box labeled "After-tax additional contributions".

So nothing in Box 12 with a code D?   401k through an employer is typically pre-tax.
