Retirement tax questions

The only thing that you would normally do is provide an explanation of the returned contribution to show that the amount distributed constituted the amount returned.  You are correct that it doesn't change anything on your tax return (except in the case where TurboTax allowed you Retirement Savings Contributions Credit for the excess contribution; TurboTax does not detect excess Roth 401(k) contributions).
