After you file

Q1. No, only earnings from excess contributions are taxable but you had a loss therefore this will not change your taxable income. If you decided to file an amended 2020 return it would be for information only but not a taxable event. Please see  Do I need to amend? and How do I amend my 2020 return? for additional information.

 

Q2. No, the code is PJ is correct. Only earnings are taxable and if you had earnings, you would enter the exception for the person over 59 ½ like below (a person under 59 1/2 would have to pay the 10% penalty on the earnings).  But you had a loss therefore this doesn’t apply to you.
