1) Just enter the amount of your Roth value without the excess earnings amount.
2) Next, you will receive a 1099R next year to report your 2020 tax year. The 1099R will show the amount of the total Distribution plus the excess earnings amount in Box 1 and then show just the taxable amount of the distribution in Box 2A, which should just be the excess earnings amount. IRS will know the amount of the contribution you returned because there will be a code P in box 7 indicating that it is a return of capital. Any amount taxable in Box 2A will assumed to be excess earnings.
The reason why you will report excess earnings on 2020 return is because you received it in 2020 thus it is 2020 income to be reported on your return. Don't report it for tax year 2019.
