Get your taxes done using TurboTax

@Uberczar That is correct, to reiterate:

 

To report the earnings on the excess contribution, you should enter a Substitute form 1099-R. You will see an option for this when you see the screen Tell us Which 1099-R You Have. 

 

Enter in box 1 the distribution amount. In box 2 enter the earnings. Enter code "P and J" in box 7. Work through the questions in TurboTax after you entered the 1099-R until you see a question regarding why you made the distribution, to which you will respond it was a return of an excess contribution.
