It depends on your question. If your question is whether you need to report your contribution as a Roth contribution if you cannot take a deduction for a TIRA (Traditional IRA) because of income, then you have three options:
However, if you tried to contribute to a Roth, but discovered that your income is too high to do so, you will want to recharacterize the contribution to a nondeductible TIRA. You may still do so up until the filing deadline of April 17. You may then immediately convert the amount back into a Roth. The reason why you want to do so is because if you leave the amount as a Roth, this will be an excessive contribution, and you will pay a 6% penalty every year until the contribution is withdrawn, unless you recharacterize it.
In essence, you will have to report the amount in some way, unless you can speak to your plan administrator about withdrawing the whole amount because it is an excessive contribution. To recharacterize or convert an IRA, you also would want to speak with your plan administrator.
