From IRS Form 8815, Line 14 "Excludable savings bond interest. Subtract line 13 from line 8. Enter the result here and on Schedule B (Form 1040), line 3" This value cannot be entered directly, because it must be a calculated total derived from your entries/totals on lines 13 and 8.
Line 6 can only be entered following an entry on Line 5.
