I had made after-tax contributions to my fidelity 401K account. After about a year, I rolled over the after-tax contributions to my Roth IRA account ("mega backdoor Roth IRA"), and the investment gains on those contributions to a regular IRA (to defer paying taxes on them).
I am unable to figure out how to enter this information through the 1099-R section on turbotax online. It doesn't seem to support an option for indicating that part of the rollover is non-taxable (the Roth IRA portion) and part is tax deferred (regular IRA portion).
Thanks.
You must split the code G Form 1099-R into two, one for the after-tax portion (which will include the box 5 entry) rolled over to the Roth IRA and another for the pre-tax portion rolled over to the traditional IRA. The dollar amounts on these two Forms 1099-R must total to match the original. The rest of the information on the original Form 1099-R will be duplicated on both of the entered Forms 1099-R.

Thanks very much. Your suggestion makes total sense. I was able to enter the information in Turbotax and the return forms look good!
I am confused as to how to enter this into TurboTax. Where can I find step-by-step directions?
Please follow these steps to split you Form 1099-R:
