Backdoor roth ira still showing IRA distribution is taxable

I am using turbotax online and am having trouble with entering the backdoor roth IRA. I am following the instructions in the help section. The IRA deposit and conversion to Roth IRA were both completed in 2022. First, I enter the non-deductible traditional IRA contribution in the Deductions and Credits section. Then I move to the Wages and Income and enter the 1099-R including the complete deposit in the Roth account. The original donation to the traditional IRA was $6000 while the distribution to the Roth IRA was $6000.30. However, when I look at the Preview of 1040, I see an IRA distribution of $6000 (line 4a) and a taxable amount of $5327 (line 4b, which is incorrect). And on Schedule 1, line 20 the IRA deduction is blank (which is correct).

 

I'm not sure why the value of $5327 is showing up on line 4b. Any ideas?

 

Note: I have tried deleting and re-adding both steps with no change in the result.
