Do I include a rollover from a 401(k) to a Roth IRA as a "contribution"?

If I do include it, TT says that I contributed too much.

Do I include a rollover from a 401(k) to a Roth IRA as a "contribution"?

No.  It is a conversion and you should have a 1099-R reporting it.   Unless this was a 401(k) Roth (Designated Roth) account rolled in to a Roth IRA, then a normal 401(k) account converted to a Roth IRA will be fully taxable.
