Retirement tax questions

You enter the full amount of contribution as withdrawn on the penalty screen during the IRA contribution interview. 

 

Plus your 1099-R will have the codes J and P in box 7 showing it was a return of excess contribution plus earnings but since no earnings are reported in box 2a the IRS will know there was a loss.
