Rollover versus a distribution

Every year I have been moving 10 to 15k Traditional IRA money to Roth because I would watch the refund meter go down as I entered the distribution then go back up when I confirmed that money went to an IRA.  This year seems the opposite effect and I don't understand why.  Any ideas?

 

IE: if I take the distribution and don't put it in a Roth my refund goes up?
