Retirement tax questions

Thank you.    

On carryover/absorption (that my allowed  2021 Roth IRA  contribution limit will completely eliminate the excess  in 2020),     what is the best way to report with  Turbotax? 

Seems 2020  5329 can only report 2020 excessive contribution.     In 2021 tax return with  5329, I won't have the 2020 5329  excessive amount  to base on and  therefore , IRS requires me to amended 2020 tax return with the 2020 5329 to report the excess.

 

If I am okay paying the excise tax now, would it  be simpler  with TurboTax that :

1) I  report the  excessive contribution on 5329 in 2020  and pay the  excise tax.           

2) In  2021, I follow through with the 2021 5329   to report Zero excessive contribution (by absorption) 

3) I don't need to amend my 2020   tax return or its 5329.                                     

Is it allowed or doable?
