Retirement tax questions

@macuser_22 Thank you so much for your advice. I imported my 1099 r and go step by step to answer the questions, it works! No penalty, and other taxes for that distribution.

 

But when I amended my  2019 tax and put all information, because I withdrew the excess 6000 Roth IRA contribution by April 15, 2020, there was no difference and I checked forms, no 5329 show up. Do I still need to amend and report the 6% tax?


No yiu do not do 2019 that way.  It is NOT a 2019 contribution, it is a 2018 excess that carried to 2019, and you do NOT say to apply it to 2020, because only a NEW 2019 contribution could do that.    You indicate that it was not removed in 2019.
