You've entered your $7,000 Roth IRA contribution as a traditional IRA contribution or when entering the Roth IRA contribution you told TurboTax that you "switched" (recharacterized) the Roth IRA contribution to be a traditional IRA contribution instead.  If you told TurboTax that you switched your contribution but did not, go back and correct that in the Roth IRA contribution section, otherwise remove the traditional contribution entry and make a Roth IRA contribution entry.
