So, I have a spousal IRA which funded for year 2020 in Feb 2021. Realized immediately that I did a ROTH IRA contribution as well in late 2020. So initiated the Return of Excess contribution and got a letter explaining I will receive the 1099-R only in Jan 2022.
After some research I am understanding I can fill 1099-R myself. Box 1 = excess contribution + applicable earning ($2029.39). Box 2a = applicable earning ($29.39). Box 7 = 1 & 8. Check the checkbox "The IRA/SEP/Simple box is checked on my copy of 1099-R".
Some questions
1. Am I getting this correct.
2. Turbotax Premier Desktop is suggesting Form 4852, is that really needed?
3.. Do I need to fill 5329 myself and where is that option?
No. form 4852 is "Substitute 1099-R" only used to correct an incorrect 10990R that the insurer refused to correct. You have not even received a 1099-R so there is nothing to correct.
You said "So, I have a spousal IRA which funded for year 2020 in Feb 2021. Realized immediately that I did a ROTH IRA contribution as well in late 2020"
What was returned? A "spousal IRA can either be a Roth or a Traditional IRA" which was returned? - a Roth contribution or a Traditional IRA contribution and for which spouse?
