Retirement tax questions

I removed 2017's $5,500 Roth excess in Dec 2019.

 

So it sounds like I pay the 6% penalty in 2017 and 2018 only, by making an amendment in TurboTax for those 2 years.  Any ideas where I would make the amendments there?

 

Since the 1099-R for tax year 2019 includes the $5,500 withdrawn (excess roth contribution from 2017), I believe this needs to be reported for tax year 2019 as well, just no 6% penalty.  Did I enter the information correctly based on my earlier description of what was entered in TurboTax?

 

I don't understand why TurboTax shows $500 in the Deductions & Credits summary page in the retirement > IRA section. 

 

 


No need to amend, just send stand alone 5329 forms for those years that you can get here:

There will be no 2019 penalty.

 

What is the description for  the $500 - what category?
