Why does the FAFSA count 2015 Roth IRA Distribution if I made the contribution that same year?

Last year, I thought I would make more money than I did, so I put money into a Roth IRA. Then, I had some medical problems and needed the money. So, I withdrew my contributions. Now, the FAFSA has me reporting line 15a - 15b, which is the amount I contributed this year... but, I withdrew that because I needed the money. It's not like it is additional income to me... I have paid taxes on that money. And, the FAFSA asks about 1040 line 50. My line 50 for education credits shows as 0. That has me confused, because I know I got the American Opportunity Credit, as shown as line 68. ??
