Should I include parent's contributions to Roth IRA when calculating basis?

Hello. My parents set up a Roth IRA in my name when I was very young. I am now an adult and made my first contribution to the account this year. Turbotax is telling me I should start keeping tracking of my IRA basis. Should I include contributions from my parents or only my contributions? Thank you.
