Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If you requested the withdrawal of the 2023 excess contribution plus earnings but received less because of a loss then you will enter the full excess amount ($300) as withdrawn on the penalty screen in the IRA contribution interview:

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
  2. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
  3. Select “Roth IRA
  4. Continue until the penalty screen and enter the $300 excess contribution amount as withdrawn.

 

Only the earnings are taxable for a return of excess contribution distribution. Therefore, since you had a loss, your distribution will not be taxable.
