Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Unfortunately a code J means you are under age 59 1/2 but for a return of contribution the J is required to specify that it is a Roth.

 

That is the consequence of the IRS using code J for two unrelated things.

 

If you are over 59 1/2 then on the "Lets see if we can lower your tax bill" enter the box 2a amount in the "Another Reason" box to eliminate the 10% early withdrawal penalty on the earnings.
