Tax Expert DaveF1006 is referring to what to enter on the penalty screen during the IRA interview. Here you will enter the contribution amount of $6,000 to show that you removed the full excess contribution amount (as I mentioned in my post as well).
But the distribution amount in box 1 on the 2023 Form 1099-R will be the amount you received (distributed to you) which should be the contribution amount minus the loss. If you enter the 2023 Form 1099-R for the withdrawal of excess contribution minus loss then you will enter $5,500 for box 1 and $0 for 2a.
