Retirement tax questions

A 2019 1099-R with a code PJ says that it is for a return of contribution returned in 2019 but taxable in 2018.   You must amend 2018 to report it but only the box 2a amount would be taxable.  It does not go on your 2019 tax return at all unless you had federal tax withheld in box 4.
