Some of the tax withheld in my 2020 1099-R was applied to 2019 taxes.  How can I account for that in my 2020 tax return.  The 2020 1099-R is correct but some of the taxes withheld can't be refunded in 2020 because they were applied to 2019 tax.


Tax withheld on a 2020 1099-R can only be applied to 2020 tax.  It goes on the the 2020 1040 form line 25b.
