Confused on how to enter my self-employed solo/individual roth 401(k) contributions in Business Income and Expenses

I opened a Solo (individual) Roth 401(k) in 2020 and made contributions.

In TTD Home and Biz>Business>Business Income and Expenses>Individual and Roth 401(k) Plans.

 

There are options to enter contributions as either Individual 401(k)  (top choice on the screen) and Roth 401(k) (bottom choice on the screen).  I made Elective Deferrals as an employee.

 

This is probably very simple, but I'm confused if I'm supposed to enter under Individual 401(k) or Roth 401(k). When I look at my plan documents (Vanguard) it shows 'Individual Roth 401(k)' so that seems to me I should enter my contributions in the top choice.

Roth contributions aren't deductible {regular 401(k) are}  so you need to be entered them as elective deferrals (line 7a)  in the ROTH 401(K) section.

double click on it and you can then scroll down where you can enter your ROTH 401(k) contributions

@Mike9241 - sorry for delay in response.  The answer is 'sort of.'  Typing Keogh did not get me to a 'jump to' link in either Home n Biz in TTD or the TTO version, but I knew where I needed to go.  I put it in the roth 401(k) section.  Thx.
