Retirement tax questions

No, you don’t have an excess contribution, you removed the excess contribution with a loss. Fidelity followed the rules correctly.

 

You will enter the full amount of the excess contribution (the original amount of $3,730) on your 2022 tax return.

 

The loss will have to be reported on your 2023 tax return:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click "Federal" from the left side of your screen
  3. Scroll down to "Less Common Income" and click "Show More"
  4. Scroll down to "Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C" and click "Start"
  5. Select "Other reportable income" and click "Start"
  6. Answer "Yes" to "Any Other Taxable Income?"
  7. Enter "Loss on Excess Deferral Distribution” and enter the loss as a negative number (-$15)

 

 

“Report a loss on a corrective distribution of an excess deferral in the year the excess amount (reduced by the loss) is distributed to you. Include the loss as a negative amount on Schedule 1 (Form 1040), line 8z, and identify it as Loss on Excess Deferral Distribution”. (Pub 525)
