Thanks the wording is confusing. It asks if I had a distribution after 2020 but before the due date of the 2023 return (april 14th 2024). The answer is yes, I took a distribution in January of 2024.
Then it lists 4 years to put distributions on (the last of which is 2024).
If you click help it lists distributions that don't count. #3 in the list is in conflict with timeframe referenced when it's asking you for any distributions between 2020 and the due date of the 2023 return.
I.E.
This list of items do not reduce your eligible retirement contributions.
3) Any distribution that is a return of a contributions to an IRA made during the year for which you claim the credit if the distribution is made before the due date of your return, you do not take a deduction for the returned contribution, and the distribution includes any income attributable to the contribution.
