AMENDMENT - 2020 or 2021? 1099-R codes J,P

I overcontributed ($1,800 on 12/4/2020) to a Roth IRA in tax year 2020 due to contribution limits driven by income.  I was allowed to contribute ($0). I did not use the distribution to buy a house, i am under 59.5, it was less than 5 years. 

 

In 2021 (2/9/2021) when I realized the error I moved the money to a mutual fund and my 2020 1099 forms were never reissued.

 

I made $84 in interest at that time. 

 

In 2021 I received a 2021 1099-R with the distribution codes J and P.
line1 was $1926.71

line 2a was $83.63
line 4 was $30.41

line 7 j,p

Line 14 $12.46

 

 

I did not use Turbo Tax software in 2020; but this year the software alerted me that i need to amend my 2020 taxes. 

 

I have filed and received my 2021 refund. 

On my 2021 refund - turbo tax software added my $84 of interest to line 2b on my 1040
and the $30 of federal tax withheld on 25b of the 1040 form.

 

There was no form 5239 with my 2021 tax return. 

Do I need to make any amendment for the $8 penalty? If so - which tax year? 

 

I am very confused.

yes.  I am sure. 

I got the following message

"It looks like you may need to amend your 2020 return.  Here's why: Your 1099-R reports earnings on a contribution you made in 2020.  This information needs to go on your 2020 return. "

2021 Form 1099-R

The code on back of my 1099 is 
J--Early distribution from a Roth IRA, no known exception (in most cases, under age 59½).
P--Excess contributions plus earnings/excess deferrals (and/or earnings) taxable in 2020
