Can't figure out how to properly enter excess ROTH IRA contributions for 2021 into my Turbo Tax
I always put my wife and my ROTH IRA contributions in at the beginning of every year (not anymore after this). So, in February of 2021, I put in $7,000 for me and $6,000 for the wife, not knowing that much later in the year, we would blow our MAGI out of the range with unforeseen income. I have NOT finished filing my 2021 taxes with Turbo Tax. I spoke with my Vanguard retirement specialist and he said if I withdrew the ROTH contributions totally AND withdrew the earnings on what both accounts had made AND paid the 10% early withdrawal penalty AND claimed the earnings on both accounts, then I wouldn't have to pay the penalty. Just pay taxes on the earnings and accept the 10% I lost for early withdrawal. I did this on 03/30/22. I asked him about this 1099R that I am supposed to enter info from and he said I wouldn't get a 1099R until it came time for tax forms for 2022 to file before April of 2023. So my question is how to properly enter the information into my Turbo Tax information to show I withdrew all of the money (also, I have NOT made any contributions in 2022 to either ROTH), took the 10% penalty, have all of the info to enter to show the taxable income from the gains made by the $7,000 and $6,000. Can anyone help explain HOW to enter this properly?
