Retirement tax questions
You will create one 1099-R for the withdrawal of excess contribution:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click on the Search box on the top and type “1099-R”
- Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
- Select "I'll type it in myself"
- Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution plus earning)
- Box 2 enter the earnings
- Box 7 enter P and J
- On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2021 1099-R.
Yes, you will pay a 10% early withdrawal penalty on the earnings.
You do not need to create a 1099-R for the recharacterization since a 1099-R with code R will do nothing to your return. The only way to report the recharacterization is with the steps below (you mentioned you have already done this):
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click on the Search box on the top and type “IRA contributions”
- Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
- Select “Roth IRA”
- Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution
- Enter the Roth contribution amount
- Answer “Yes” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen and enter the contribution amount (no earnings or losses)
- TurboTax will ask for an explanation statement where it should be stated that the original $xxx.xx plus $xxx.xx earnings (or loss) were recharacterized.
