Deductions & credits

To confirm, did you request the withdrawal of excess contributions plus earnings? If yes, then your 2023 Form 1099-R should have code P and J. And this has to be entered on your 2022 return since the earnings in box 2a are taxable in 2022.

 

If you requested the excess contribution plus earnings before the extended due date of the 2022 return then you should not have a 6% penalty on your 2022 return (check if you have Form 5329 part IV). If this applies to you then can delete the entry on the "Enter Excess Contributions" screen, since you didn't have a 2022 excess contribution.

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
  2. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
  3. Select “Roth IRA
  4. On the "Do you have any Excess Roth Contributions" answer "Yes"
  5. On the "Enter Excess Contributions" screen delete the entry

 

"For purposes of determining excess contributions, any contribution that is withdrawn on or before the due date (including extensions) for filing your tax return for the year is treated as an amount not contributed. This treatment only applies if any earnings on the contributions are also withdrawn. The earnings are considered earned and received in the year the excess contribution was made." (Pub 590-A)
