Retirement tax questions
You do not report the contribution, because it is as if it never happened.
You do report the earnings on your 2023 return (this year). You can create a "substitute 1099-R" to report the dollar amount (actually, 2 substitute 1099-Rs, one for each spouse's account). Use code J for the distribution code in box 7. The distributed earnings may be subject to income tax and a 10% penalty, depending on your age and how long ago you opened the IRAs.
Then, next year, the 1099-R you receive will have code P, meaning a distribution of earnings due to a corrective withdrawal that was taxable in the previous year. You include it on your return but you won't pay tax again.
