Sole proprietor Roth 401K employer contribution in TurboTax

[Rivergal]

Has anyone gained clarity on how to enter the employer Roth 401K contribution for a sole proprietorship in TurboTax? I see a lot of discussion from last year, but no clear resolution and no current discussion of this issue. Thanks!

If you have no employees, follow the instructions below to enter the total of employer and employee contributions. These steps record the contributions under Business Deductions & Credits and the program transfers the expense to Schedule C Line 19.

To enter your self-employed retirement in TurboTax Online:

• Open your return and go to Tax Tools in the left column.
• Choose Tools >> Topic search, then enter self-employed retirement. Click the topic then Go.
  (In TurboTax for Desktop, use the Search box in the upper righthand corner.)
• Follow the interview to report your total 401K contributions (employer plus employee).

If you have employees, the employees' contributions are included in W-2 wages. The employer's contributions are deducted as a business expense under Less Common Expenses / All Other Expenses >> Employee Pension plan / Pension Plan Contributions.

The profit-sharing contribution only shows up under the individual 401K section, not the Roth 401K section. I entered my employee contributions as though they were i401K contributions (deductible) and asked TT to maximize my contribution. TT calculated my allowed employer profit sharing contribution, then I moved my own Roth contributions to the Roth 401K section. Do I simply keep the profit-sharing contributions as non-Roth, then pay taxes on it through a conversion process? Any guidance on how to report this to myself? I haven't issued myself a W-2. Do I do that, or issue a 1099-R?

Thanks for the help!
