1099-R Roth IRA Distribution of Contributions
Since 2017, I've contributed to my Roth IRA. This year, I withdrew the full amount of my contributions, leaving just the earnings in my IRA. I received a 1099-R from the company handling my IRA with a code "J". When I enter my withdrawal into TurboTax, it is trying to tax me for my distribution and claims I owe money for it.
Since I only withdrew what I contributed, I should not be taxed from this distribution. How do make TurboTax see that I just withdrew my contributions. The example on the "Enter Prior Year Roth IRA Contributions" tells me to subtract any contributions that are left in my IRA (which would be 0 now), but if I put 0 in it, it claims I should be taxed on that amount I withdrew.
How do I enter this form so that I don't get taxed on withdrawing my contributions? There doesn't seem to be a spot for that.
