You can enter it into Turbo Tax but that's just to confirm you are eligible to make the contribution.  It won't show up on your tax return and a ROTH  is not deductible.

Enter IRA contributions under

Then scroll down to Retirement and Investments

Traditional and ROTH IRA Contributions - Click the Start or Update button

A Roth IRA contribution is normally not part of your tax return.  There are 3 reasons you would enter a Roth IRA contribution into Turbotax.

1. If you ineligible for some reason, Turbotax will warn you, and calculate a penalty if you owe one.

2. If you are low income, you might qualify for a retirement saver's credit.

3. Turbotax will help you keep track of contributions, which might affect the taxation of withdrawals you make, if you make withdrawals before age 59-1/2.
