Retirement tax questions
You are correct that my 1099-R shows only the income earned on the funds as taxable in box 2(a).
Turbotax does not show that I have an excess contribution nor does it give me the opportunity to indicate that that I withdrew the excess contribution by the due date of the return. It does, however, indicate that my husband has an excess contribution and gives him the opportunity to indicate that he withdrew it prior to the due date of the return (perhaps because I am listed first on the return or because the earned income permitting the contributions is attributable to me?). In any case, I cannot figure out how to get the system to reflect that the excess contribution was withdrawn from my account so that we are not charged a penalty for an excess contribution that was not made to my husband's account.
