I want to rollover all my traditional IRA to my qualifying tax deferred work plan (401K). Traditional IRA has a small amount of non-tax deferred basis. When I do the rollover to the tax deferred 401K, what do I do with the non-tax deferred basis amount?

IRA basis is not permitted to be rolled over to a 401(k). You must limit your rollover to the 401(k) so that the amount rolled over to the 401(k) is no more than would be taxable if you distributed (or Roth converted) all funds from your traditional IRAs and did not roll any over to the 401(k). I would suggest converting the remainder (the basis in nondeductible traditional IRA contributions) to a Roth IRA rather than leave it in the traditional IRA.
