Retirement tax questions

Thanks, Dana.  So I keep the code 8 and it will then register as income on line 1 of the 1040SR .  Which is what I presume it should.

 

Sorry to hassle you further however, my line 16 for taxes owed is decreased from the tax schedule  by that same amount in TurboTax. 

 

For example, line 1 is $56, the amount of interest from the 2020 excess contribution.  The tax schedule for line 16 indicates an amount of, let's say $11,815 owed.  But TurboTax is entering $11,759.  Exactly the same amount less that is entered in wages $11,815 - $56 = $11,759. 

 

I don't understand where that comes from. 

 

Again, much appreciate your assistance.
