Backdoor roth with recharacterization and conversion

I have a question for filling backdoor Roth IRA with recharacterization and conversion. 

so in

Jan 2021, transferred $6k from traditional IRA to RothIRA towards 2020

Feb2021, transferred $6k from own account to Roth IRA directly. 

Then I realized I should transfer $$ from traditional IRA not other account. 

so on Feb2021, I transferred $5900 (investment loss) from RothIRA  back to Traditional IRA. 

Then on Feb2021, I transferred $5900 from traditional IRA to RothIRA. 

 

Now I received two 1099R

1099R traditional  $5900, code X, in the form 5498, it shows Recharacterized contributions $5900

1099R Roth $11900 code 2, in the form 5498, it says Roth IRA conversion amount $11900,  Roth IRA contributions $6000

 

In this case, in Turbotax, I entered those answers, could you please help me check if it's correct? 

Enter the amount that I put into a traditional IRA for 2021?  $5900

how much of the $5900 contributed to Traditional IRA did you recharacterize to Roth ? $5900

IRA explanation statement

Any Excess IRA Contributions Before 2021? no

Any Nondeductible Contributions to the IRA? yes. made and tracked nondeductible contributions to IRA

Let's Find Your IRA Basis:  0. (not sure if it's $6000 or 0, but I don't have form 8606)
 
Do I need to select "contribute to Roth in 2021" in this case?
Enter Your Roth IRA Contributions:  $6000 (not sure if I have contributions or not if excluding $5900)
how much of the $6000 contributed to Roth IRA did you recharacterize to traditional IRA: 5900
 IRA explanation statement
 
Then it shows I have a penalty..
Contribution withdraw before due: ?? no idea here
 
Thank you!
