Retirement tax questions
"Based on my Roth IRA 2022 Form 1099-R Box 7 is T."
This doesn't make any sense unless the distribution was to you as beneficiary of an inherited IRA. Code T is only for distributions received after you have reached age 59½, have become disabled or you are taking a distribution from an inherited IRA. Because you had not yet reached age 59½ at the time of the distribution, if the distribution is from your own Roth IRA, not an inherited Roth IRA, the correct code for this distribution is J and is likely the code on the Form 1099-R that you received.
Enter the Form 1099-R exactly as received, then indicate that you did not move the money to another retirement account. (You "cashed it out.") On the page that lists the Forms 1099-R that you have entered, click the continue button and proceed to where you can enter the amount of Roth IRA contributions you have made. TurboTax will prepare Form 8606 to calculate that the taxable amount of this distribution is zero because you have distributed no more than your contribution basis.
Also, I assume that your total $29,000 of Roth IRA contributions was made over at least 5 years because the annual contributions have been limited to $5,500 or $6,000 in recent years. I say this to make sure that you are not confusing a Roth 401(k) and its higher contribution limits with a Roth IRA.
