Retirement tax questions

1099-R 2020 with code R-Recharacterized IRA contribution made for 2019 belongs on the 2019 return and is for the recharacterization. But a 1099-R with code R will do nothing to your return. 

 

And it seems that you already reported everything correctly in regards to the nondeductible recharacterization ($240) on your 2019 tax return therefore you do not need to amend you return.

 

For review the steps to report the recharacterization:

  1. Open your return
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
  3. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
  4. Select “Roth IRA
  5. Answer “No” to “Is This a Repayment of a Retirement Distribution
  6. Enter the Roth contribution amount 
  7. Answer “Yes” to the recharacterized question on the “Did You Change Your Mind?” screen and enter the contribution amount (no earnings or losses)
  8. 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.
  9. On the screen "Choose Not to Deduct IRA Contributions" answer "Yes"
