This despite the fact that Turbotax shows that no tax is payable (and it shouldnt be). The only way to keep the balance same is to choose the rollover option, which isnt accurate. Is there a bug in the software? Thanks!
a recharacterization is not a conversion; you answered incorrectly.

recharacterization:
the original amount to the first IRA you report as contribution to the second IRA, earnings move but are ignored.
To confirm, the code in box 7 on your 2023 Form 1099-R is a N or R?
If it is code R then you will have to enter recharacterization on your 2022 tax return in the IRA contribution section.
If it is code N then you will have to enter recharacterization on your 2023 tax return in the IRA contribution section.
