Deductions & credits

Yes, you will enter the traditional IRA contribution but enter the excess contribution amount as withdrawn by the due date on the penalty screen.

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions” 
  2. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
  3. Enter the contribution amount without earnings and losses as withdrawn by the due date on the penalty screen

 

If you withdrew a 2021 excess contribution plus earnings in 2022 before the due date, then you will get a 2022 1099-R in 2023 with codes P and 1. 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 2022 1099-R 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 to the 2022 tax return but the withholding will be applied to 2022.

 

To create a 1099-R 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 plus earning)
  7. Box 2 enter the earnings
  8. Box 7 enter P and 1 
  9. Check the "IRA/ SEP/ SIMPLE" box
  10. Click "Continue"
  11. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2022 1099-R.
  12. Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
  13. Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and click "Continue" since you are under 59 1/2
