Following up on the comments from @MinhT1 and @DanaB27, it should be the excess contribution amount, not including the earnings. TurboTax guidance provides the following regarding the screen you are seeing:
- On the next screen, Tell Us How Much You Transferred, enter the excess contribution amount (don't include earnings or losses)
- On the screen, Roth IRA Explanation Statement, enter the original amount plus the amount of earnings or loss that were re-characterized.
Below is a link to the TurboTax article that explains a Roth re-characterization to a Traditional IRA.
