I have converted my trad IRA to Roth. I have received a 1099-R and reported it as an income. Do I need to file another form? Is this a taxable event?

    Yes it should be taxable.  Did you get a taxable amount on 1040 line 4b?  The 1099R is all you need to enter.

    I did my taxes on Turbotax and not sure how to pull 1040 line 4b.  How would I see that?

    I just know when I was filling out boxes, TurboTax mentioned that I will need to amend my 2017 return. Do you know why?

    No I don't know why.  We can't see your return.  Was it when you entered the 1099R?  Maybe someone else has an idea,  @dmertz
