I'm not sure why line 12 had an entry but you can remove it since you did not have an excess contribution from a prior year.
In regards to your Form 1099-R, did you removed the excess from the traditional IRA instead from the Roth IRA? It seemed you said in your original statement you deducted the $4,400 traditional IRA contribution and removed correctly the excess form the Roth IRA.
The Form 1099-R indicate the excess was removed from the traditional IRA. Please check your 2023 Schedule 1 line 20 if you deducted the $4,400. Also, it seems you reported a 2024 Form 1099-R with code P and J on your 2023 return for the return of a Roth excess contribution plus earnings according to ThomasM125 instructions. You might need to amend your 2023 tax return.
If you indeed requested the excess to be removed from the Roth IRA then you will have to contact your financial institution since they issues the wrong Form 1099-R.
1099-R instructions state: "For the distribution of excess Roth IRA contributions, report the gross distribution in box 1 and only the earnings in box 2a. Enter Code J and Code 8 or P in box 7."
