Turbo Tax Question "Withdraw from Roth IRA Before 2022?"

I made excess contributions to my Roth IRA in 2020. I withdrew the excess contributions in 2021 before filing to avoid the penalty. Entered the 1099-R on my return and was taxed on the gains. Bottom line...did what I was supposed to do to fix the error.

On this year's return (2022), when entering my 2022 Roth contributions Turbo Tax is asking me if I "Withdraw from Roth IRA Before 2022?"

Do I answer "Yes" because I actually did, or "No" because I corrected the situation in 2021? In other words, is the intent of this question to identify unauthorized withdrawals or should I being reading it literally?

Thank you.

You'll answer 'no'. It's asking about withdrawals and you technically didn't make one because you were pulling out excess contributions.
