Retirement tax questions

No, you will enter the Roth contribution, and then during the contribution interview, you will enter on the penalty screen that you withdrew the excess contribution and this will remove the 6% penalty from your return.

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions” 
3. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
4. Select “Roth IRA” and enter your contribution of $6,000
5. On the penalty screen enter that you removed the excess contribution ($6,000)

Yes, you will still enter Form 1099-R for the distribution. To create a Form 1099-R in your 2022 return please follow the steps below:

1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
2. Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
4. Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2022?"
5. Select "I'll type it in myself"
6. Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution minus loss)
7. Box 2a enter $0
8. Box 7 enter J and P
9. Click "Continue"
10. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2023 Form 1099-R.

Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2021" you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2022.

You will get a 2023 Form 1099-R  in 2024 with codes P and J for the withdrawal of excess contributions and earnings. This 1099-R will have to be included on your 2022 tax return and you have two options:  

• You can wait until you receive the 2023 Form 1099-R in 2024 and amend your 2022 return or
• You can report it now in your 2022 return with the above steps and ignore the 1099-R when it comes unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withholding and/or Box 14 State withholding. Then you must enter the 2023 Form 1099-R into the 2023 tax return since the withholdings are reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2023 code P will not do anything to the 2023 tax return but the withholdings will be applied to 2023.
