How to amend withdrawal of Roth IRA due to excess contribution in 2017. Received 2018 1099-R form.

In 1099-R form:

  • Box 1 and 2a are same amount, $1364
  • Taxable Amount Not Determined "Yes"
  • Total Distribution "No"
  • Codes: J, P

The contributions withdrawn was $1295, but when I went through the questions, I end up owing $522. I thought only earnings are taxed plus 10% penalty for Roth IRA early withdrawal, which should be a lot less.

In other thread, only earnings are entered in 2a, but in another thread, someone says 1099-R form must be entered exactly as received.
