Retirement tax questions

Reporting as "other income" is not correct.

 

the correct line to report 401k earnings allocable to 2022 excess is 2022 Line 5b.

Only positive earnings are reported.

A fabricated 2023 1099-R should have the desired effect.

if you have a net loss, negative earnings are not deductible; Line 5b should be zero.

 

Since you said "removed in [2023]" and  "net the losses", there is nothing for you to do ; 2022 Line 5 is EMPTY.
