I am being charged a penalty for "contributing" to my roth IRA but it was actually a traditional IRA rollover. How do I fix this?

Go back to your 1099-R entry to make sure you entered the information correctly.  Usually when you have a direct rollover, your form will have code G in box 7. ‌If you didn't have a direct rollover and your code is different, keep going through your interview. There'll be questions about if you roll over any of your distributions.‌ See the images below for your reference:
