Both ROTH and Trad IRA are on my wife's name the contributions added up to 8000. So I submitted ROE from Trad IRA for $2000.

 

My contributions are separate $4000 in ROTH. 


A return of Traditional IRA contributions made in 2020 for 2020 should have a code 8 (and 1 if under age 59 1/2) in box 7, the total returned amount in box 1 and the earnings in box 2a  and the IRA/SEP.SIMPLE box checked.

 

If you know those amounts you can file it now and avoid amending when the real 1099-R comes.
