You enter the 2019 contribution on your 2019 tax return.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for amending a 2019 tax return - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/tax-topics/help/how-do-i-amend-a-2019-return-in-turbotax/01/1238456

But a ROTH is not deductible so it shouldn't change your 2019 return and you won't need to amend. But you should fill it out to see if you were qualified to make a 2019 contribution.

Agreed ... you should amend to (1) see if you were qualified to make the contribution and (2) to see if you get any saver's credit form 8880.
