If the Refund Meter increased after you entered your Non-Deductible IRA balance, that probably is not related to that particular entry.
However, when you entered your 1099-R, if the distribution included your RMD, indicate in TurboTax that 'all of this distribution is RMD'. RMD is taxable income and is taxed the same as any other distribution. The only difference is if you indicate that that you 'made a charitable contribution' with part of the distribution, the amount you contributed is non-taxable.
Or, if you didn't take your required RMD, then you would have a penalty assessed.
If you made non-deductible contributions to an IRA in 2022 (Form 8606), this would not lower your taxes, as the income is still taxable, but it would not raise your taxes either.
If you can clarify with more details, we'll try to help.
Here's detailed info on Form 8606.
