Get your taxes done using TurboTax
You have until the extended due date the withdraw the excess contributions plus earnings. To confirm, you requested the withdrawal of excess contributions plus earnings?
"If you timely filed your 2023 tax return without withdrawing a contribution that you made in 2023, you can still have the contribution returned to you within 6 months of the due date of your 2023 tax return, excluding extensions." (Pub 590-A).
If you removed the excess contribution plus earnings then please make sure you enter the excess contribution amount as withdrawn on the penalty screen at the end of the IRA contribution interview.
If you made an excess contribution in 2023 and withdrew the 2023 excess traditional IRA contribution plus earnings in 2024 before the extended due date, then you will get a 2024 Form 1099-R in 2025 with codes P and 1. This Form 1099-R will have to be included on your 2023 tax return and you have two options:
- You can wait until you receive the 2024 Form 1099-R in 2025 and amend your 2023 return or
- You can report it now in your 2023 return and ignore the 1099-R when it comes unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withholding and/or Box 14 State withholding. Then you must enter the 2024 Form 1099-R into the 2024 tax return since the withholding is reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2024 code P will not do anything to the 2024 tax return income but the withholding will be applied to 2024.
To create a Form 1099-R in your 2023 return please follow the steps below:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
- Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
- Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2023?"
- Select "I'll type it in myself"
- Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution plus earning)
- Box 2 enter the earnings
- Box 7 enter P and 1
- Check the "IRA/ SEP/ SIMPLE" box
- Click "Continue"
- On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2024 1099-R.
- Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
- Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Corrective distributions made before the due date of the return".
Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2022" you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2023.
