What is "Tell Us How Much You Transferred" for Roth IRA if you have Recharacterization? Does it include earnings or losses for the amount?

Steps I took:

1. Click Federal > Deductions & Credits on the left panel
2. Roth IRA box?

   Checked

3. Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution?

   NO

4. Enter Your Roth IRA Contributions:

   6000

5. Tell Us How Much You Transferred:

   Since I did full $6000 recharacterization from Roth to Traditional, is this total amount including earnings & loss? OR 6000?

    
6. Roth IRA Explanation Statement:

   The "Transferred" definition within the template of this page is "Recharacterization plus earnings or losses".

So, I'm a very confused! If I were to put the amount including earnings & losses (5000) for Tell Us How Much You Transferred for Step 5, the next page will show that I have Excess Contribution of $1000 even though I did recharacterization to Traditional IRA for my $6000 Roth IRA Contribution at a loss last year due to the economic downturn :(

Answer “Yes” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen and enter the contribution amount $6,000 (no earnings or losses). I have not seen this question at all within the online platform.
