Retirement tax questions

Hi - thanks. 

 

... 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.

 
I realize I have to explain further and looks like I complicated things.
 
  • In 2020,
    • I contributed $7K to my Fidelity Roth IRA
    • I also contributed $22K to my employer's Empower Roth IRA
  • In 2021, no contributions to either Roth IRAs
  • In 2022,
    • I switched jobs and moved my $22K plus earnings from my employer's Empower Roth IRA to my Fidelity Roth IRA $7K plus earnings (now there is $29K of contribution in my Fidelity Roth IRA)
    • I closed my employer's Empower Roth IRA
    • I withdrew $29K from my Fidelity Roth IRA to pay for college and left earnings in the account
  • In 2023, I received two 2022 Form 1099-R's
    • Empower Box 1 $25K, Box 2a $3K, Box 4 $600, Box 5, $22K, Box 7 of B2
    • Fidelity Box 1 $29K, Box 2b Taxable amount not determined (X), Box 7 of T

Looks like for the Fidelity 1099-R, I should not have a Box 7 of T but a Box 7 of J Early Distribution from a Roth IRA.  

 

How about the second code of Box 7 second box of 8 Return of contribution 2022?
