After-tax contributions to your traditional 401(k) account are not reportable on your tax return, except in the case where you qualify for a Retirement Savings Contributions Credit.
To clarify, I have got a 1099-R and these are after tax contributions towards the mega backdoor roth. I assume I need to report the details presented in the 1099-R. Turbo tax doesn't give me the option to specify mega backdoor roth when providing the details for this 1099-R. Turbotax only asks if I "moved this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?".
Also, found this https://thefinancebuff.com/mega-backdoor-roth-in-turbotax.html. (Assuming this is up to date and accurate) to be useful.
As I said, your after-tax contribution to the traditional 401(k) is not reportable on your tax return. What is reportable (the reason for the Form 1099-R) is the subsequent In-plan Roth Rollover of those funds, so answer Yes when TurboTax asks if you moved this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k). That's exactly what you do to accomplish the Mega-backdoor Roth.
