Retirement tax questions
Yes, if you withdraw the excess contribution plus earnings before the due date of your return then you will not have to pay the 6% penalty for an excess contribution.
You will get a 1099-R 2021 in 2022 with codes P and J for the withdrawal of excess contribution and earnings. This 1099-R will have to be included on your 2020 tax return and you have two options:
- You can wait until you receive the 1099-R 2021 in 2022 and amend your 2020 return or
- You can report it now in your 2020 return and ignore the 1099-R when it comes unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withholding and/or box 14 State withholding. Then you must enter the 2021 1099-R into the 2021 tax return since the withholding is reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2021 code P will not do anything in 2021 tax return but the withholding will be applied to 2021.
To create a 1099-R in your 2020 return please follow the steps below:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click on the Search box on the top and type “1099-R”
- Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
- Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2020?"
- 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
- Click "Continue"
- On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2021 1099-R.
