The comment on the page says: "Note: Do not include earnings and losses or amounts converted from a traditional IRA." Not sure what I am suppose to enter here.

You can withdraw contributions you made to your Roth IRA anytime, tax- and penalty-free. Therefore, TurboTax is asking about your prior contribution before 2025 and you will enter the sum of all your Roth IRA contributions prior to 2025 minus any contributions withdrawn in prior years. Then next question will be about Conversions.
