Get your taxes done using TurboTax
Yes, for the 2021 excess contribution you will have to withdraw the excess contribution plus earnings by the due date to avoid the 6% penalty. You will get a 2022 Form 1099-R with code JP, this belongs on your 2021 return.
For the 2020 excess contribution, you will only withdraw the excess contribution without the earnings since it is after the due date of the 2020 tax return. You will get a 2022 Form 1099-R with code J and this belongs on your 2022 return. You will have to pay the 6% penalty for 2020 and 2021 since the 2020 excess wasn't withdrawn by December 31, 2021.
On your 2021 return follow these steps:
- Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
- Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
- Select “Roth IRA”
- Enter your $6,000 contribution for 2021
- On the "Do you have any Excess Roth Contributions" answer "Yes"
- On the "Enter Excess Contributions" screen enter the total excess contribution from 2020 ($6,000)
- Continue until the penalty screen and enter $6,000 as withdrawn by the due date
Yes, can create Form 1099-R with code JP to avoid amending the return when you get the form in 2023.
Yes, you can ignore the 2022 Form 1099-R with code JP unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withholding and/or Box 14 State withholding. Then you must enter the 2022 Form 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 to the 2022 tax return but the withholdings will be applied to 2022.
To create Form 1099-R:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
- Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
- Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2021?"
- Select "I'll type it in myself"
- Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution plus earning) of the 2021 excess contribution
- Box 2a enter the earnings
- Box 7 enter J and P
- Click "Continue"
- On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2022 1099-R.
- Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
- Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Another reason" if you are over 59 1/2 (if you are under 59 1/2 click "Continue")
Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2020" you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2021.
