I have transferred funds from my traditional IRA to a Roth IRA in the same institution. Where do I report this on Turbotax premier software?

A Traditions IRA to Roth is a conversion, not a transfer. You should have a 1099- reporting that. Unless there was some after-tax basis in the Traditional IRA, it will all be taxable.
Enter a 1099-R here:
Federal Taxes,
Wages & Income
I’ll choose what I work on (if that screen comes up),
Retirement Plans & Social Security,
IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).
OR Use the "Tools" menu (if online version under My Account) and then "Search Topics" for "1099-R" which will take you to the same place.
Be sure to choose which spouse the 1099-R is for if this is a joint tax return.
Be sure to pick the correct 1099-R type: Standard 1099-R, CSA-1099-R, CSF-1099-R, RRB-1099-R.
If this was a rollover or conversion, answer the question that you moved the money to another retirement account (can be the same account). The screen will open up with choices of where it was moved.
[NOTE: When you get to the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen where you can add another 1099-R, use "continue" to keep going as there are additional interview questions after that screen in most cases. You can always return as shown above.]
It will show as income on the summary screen which shows gross income, not taxable income.
The taxable amount will go on the 1040 line 4b.
