I've requested a Roth IRA excess contribution removal for contributions made for the 2020 and 2021 tax years

Hello,

 

@dmertz @DanaB27 ?  (or anyone who doesn't mind reading and responding to the full inquiry below).  Thank you!

 

I'd like to know how I should report this on Turbo Tax if I do not have a 1099-R and do not know the TIN of my retirement brokerage (Vanguard).  (Assume I will not get the 1099-R on time if at all and I do not wish to amend, but I do know the exact amount of the original contribution and the interest earned for both the 2020 and 2021 contributions).   

 

The original question was

I opened a Roth IRA account in Jan 2021 (this year) and made contributions for 2020 and 2021.  I discovered this month- Feb 2021- that the entire amount of both the 2020 and 2021 contributions was over the limit.  In other words, I should not have contributed anything in either 2020 or 2021.  I have not yet filed my 2020 taxes.  I have earned interest on both the 2020 and 2021 contributions.  I have not received a 1099-R and I'm not sure I will (I have requested one but have not heard back).  Could someone let me know step by step what I need to do on turbo tax?  Let's assume I do not receive the necessary 1099-R and will need to complete a substitute 1099-R.  

 

Thanks again!
