Retirement tax questions

If I were to put the amount including earnings & losses (5000) for Tell Us How Much You Transferred for Step 5, the next page will show that I have Excess Contribution of $1000 even though I did recharacterization to Traditional IRA for my $6000 Roth IRA Contribution"

 

Exactly ,

That's why you have to enter $6,000, which is the amount you recharacterized.
