No, you don't need to enter the 2021 Form 1099-R with code R on either the 2020 or 2021 return. You only report the recharacterization with an explanation statement and the steps below (on your 2020 tax return):
- Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
- Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
- Select “Roth IRA”
- Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution
- Enter the Roth contribution amount
- Answer “Yes” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen and enter the contribution amount (no earnings or losses)
- TurboTax will ask for an explanation statement where it should be stated that the original $xxx.xx plus $xxx.xx earnings (or loss) were recharacterized.
- On the screen "Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions" answer "Yes" (if you are thinking about doing a backdoor Roth. If you have a retirement plan at work and are over the income limit it will be nondeductible automatically and you only get a warning and then a screen saying $0 is deductible)
