The value calculated by TurboTax changes when the total value of all IRA is modified. I don't understand why.

The calculation is done on Part I of Form 8606.  The basis carryover changes because changes in the year-end value of your traditional IRAs changes the amount of basis that is applied to your 2023 traditional IRA distributions and Roth conversions.
