Retirement tax questions

Thanks macuser_22.

 

The $500 is shown on this TurboTax screen if you go to:

Federal Taxes > Deductions & Credits

 

The $500 is specifically listed under this section on the screen:

- Retirement and Investment > Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions, in the "2019" column. 

 

Again, I did not make a $500 IRA contribution.  The excess Roth contribution made in 2019 was recharacterized in 2019 and reported correctly in TurboTax (as we've established earlier in this thread).  The 2017's $5,500 excess Roth contribution was withdrawn in 2019.  

 

How should the 2019 withdrawal of 2017's $5,500 excess Roth contribution be entered in TurboTax?


Go to the IRA contribution section and click through the interview for both Roth and Traditional IRA .    If anything is there as a excess then remove it.

 

You can also just delete the "IRA contribution worksheet" on the forms mode if using the desktop version if online this way:
