Get your taxes done using TurboTax

Please, do not enter the $7,000 on the “Enter Excess contribution screen” unless you had in 2020 or prior years an excess contribution that wasn’t removed.

 

For the field withdrawn by the due date, you will enter the full contribution amount of $7,000 (even if you received less because of the loss).

 

 

You will get a 1099-R 2022 in 2023 with codes P and J for the withdrawal of excess contribution with no earnings. This 1099-R will have to be included on your 2021 tax return and you have two options: 

  • You can wait until you receive the 1099-R  2022 in 2023 and amend your 2021 return or
  • You can report it now in your 2021 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 2022 1099-R into the 2022 tax return since the withholding is reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2022 code P will not do anything in 2022 tax return but the withholding will be applied to 2022.

 

To create a 1099-R with the loss in your 2021 return please follow the steps below:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  4. Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2021?"
  5. Select "I'll type it in myself"
  6. Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution minus loss)
  7. Box 2a enter $0
  8. Box 7 enter J and P
  9. Click "Continue"
  10. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2022 1099-R.
  11. Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
