I over-contributed to my IRA so I withdrew the excess and earnings. When I enter the info in the IRA field on Turbotax, it reduces my refund by $300. What is going on?

Once I removed the excess, my contribution for the year is the allowable amount.  So it doesn't make any sense that my refund is being reduced by $300.  I tried a test and just entered the final amount and made no mention of excess contributions and my refund went back up.  I don't get it.  It seems like I'm getting charged a penalty even though I have removed the excess before filing.

If you removed it then there is no excess so only enter the amount after the removal as your contribution.

 "excess and earnings"

 

Those earnings are taxable income and that is going to reduce your refund.
