Retirement tax questions
Please be aware, you cannot just report a 2021 Form 1099-R on your 2020 tax return (you stated withdrew it in Jan 2021). The IRS is matching forms and if you don't report the 2021 Form1099-R on your 2021 tax return then the IRS will have questions.
Also, "a coronavirus-related distribution is a distribution that is made from an eligible retirement plan to a qualified individual from January 1, 2020, to December 30, 2020, up to an aggregate limit of $100,000 from all plans and IRAs." (IRS)
Please be aware, that you can withdraw contributions you made to your Roth IRA anytime, tax- and penalty-free. Only the earnings will be taxable and subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are under 59 1/2.
