Can Turbo Tax Premier handle 401k rollover and non-deductible contributions in 2018 into the same IRA for subsequent Roth conversion?

[bdjohnson10]

In 2018 I rolled 401k money from a previous employer into an IRA. I also made a non-deductible contribution to the same IRA for a backdoor Roth conversion. All of the money was then converted to my Roth. Tax should be paid on the 401k rollover but not the non-deductible contribution. I am using Turbo Tax Premier. How should this be entered?
