I had excess contribution to my Roth in 2022 and I documented in Turbotax Premier 2022 that I withdrew $2000 before I filed in 2022. I received a 1099 R 2023 showing $2139 of which $139 is taxable. I've loaded that information into Turbotax Premier 2033. Is the $139 considered excess contribution or something else? How do I correct this? Thank you.
The $139 are earnings on your excess contribution. These earnings are taxable on your 2022 tax return and your 2023 Form 1099-R should have the codes P and J in box 7.
If you did not enter a Form 1099-R for this distribution on your 2022 tax return then you will have to amend your 2022 tax return to add the 2023 Form 1099-R with code P and J:
Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2021" but you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2022.
You don't have to enter the 2023 Form 1099-R with codes P and J on your 2023 tax return unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withholding and/or Box 14 State withholding. Then you must enter the 2023 Form 1099-R into the 2023 tax return since the withholdings are reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2023 code P will not do anything to the 2023 tax return income but the withholdings will be applied to 2023.
Should I submit the amended 2022 Tax before filing the new 2023 Tax? If yes, do I use the amended tax return as the base for the 2023 Tax return or does it not matter? Thank you.
