Retirement tax questions
No, you will enter the 1099-R with codes P and J only once on your 2020 tax return.
Since you have already filed you might just want to wait until you get the real 1099-R 2021 in 2022 to amend your return.
If you do not want to wait then please follow these steps in your 2020 amended return:
- 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.
Then you can ignore the 1099-R 2021 when it comes in 2022 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.
Please be aware that you can e-file your 2020 amended federal tax return, but most states require amendments to be printed and filed by mail. Please see FAQ How to amend a tax return for instructions.
Please see Where's My Amended Return? to check the status of your amended return.
