Form 8606 Nondeductible IRA Entry Increases My Taxes Owed

This is my first year taking RMD's. I have a $13,770 basis documented on my last Form 8606 for nondeductible IRA contributions I made through 2007. 

After I enter this into TT, I'm then asked to list my total 2025 EOY amount for all IRA's. 

This is a significant amount... 

 

After I make these entries my tax goes UP not DOWN by several thousand dollars.

Since I already paid taxes on $13,770 shouldn't that DECREASE my tax bill?  

 

What am I missing/doing wrong?
