Here's the help article:

https://accountants.intuit.com/support/en-us/help-article/retirement-tax-credits-deductions/report-conversion-traditional-ira-roth-ira-lacerte/L2S3pl43S_US_en_US

You'll have a nondeductible contribution to the Trad IRA, and that creates Basis for the conversion. Being all and only basis (and leaving $0 FMV in the Trad IRA) is what makes a conversion "backdoor."
