There are two elements to a back door Roth contribution:

1) The initial non-deductible Traditional IRA contribution; you enter this as you would any Traditional IRA contribution for a taxpayer.  The software will designate it as non-deductible if the taxpayer meets the various conditions, and a Form 8606 will be generated reporting this non-deductible contribution as the basis in the taxpayer's Traditional IRA;

2) The subsequent Roth conversion, which may occur in the same tax year or in the next tax year.  You receive a 1099-R form for this conversion, which you enter.  The non-deductible basis in the taxpayer's Traditional IRA (as recorded on the Form 8606)  will register such that only the earnings component of the conversion is taxable income.

That's it.

There is a 1099-R worksheet. Here is the Help article:
