Received a Roth IRA distribution in 2018 - a return of 2018 excess contributions. turbotax is taxing the distribution and applying a 10% penalty. how do i correct ?

i entered info when asked by TT to indicate a return of excess contribution, but TT is still taxing the amount and applying penalty. this was return of after tax Roth contributions - all in the same year, so should not be taxed.

Be sure to enter the same amount for 'excess Roth contribution' and amount returned to you.

Here's more info:
