Retirement tax questions
The recharacterization of a portion of your Roth IRA contribution caused that portion to be a traditional IRA contribution instead. Entered properly into 2019 TurboTax, TurboTax would have reported this traditional IRA contribution as deductible on 2019 Schedule 1 line 19 if the traditional IRA contribution was deductible or (most likely) on 2019 Form 8606 line 1 if the traditional IRA contribution was nondeductible. The amount on line 1 of 2019 Form 8606 would then likely fall through to line 14 to be carried forward to line 2 of your 2020 Form 8606. The taxable amount of your 2020 Roth conversion would then be determined on the remainder of 2020 Form 8606 Parts I and II.
If the resulting traditional IRA contribution was reported as deductible and you had no other basis in nondeductible traditional IRA contributions, the 2020 Roth conversion is taxable.
