In May 2024, I made the maximum contribution to a Roth IRA, $7000. In December 2024, my situation and I needed that money so I withdrew the CONTRIBUTION amount, i.e. $7000. My understanding was that this withdrawal would NOT be taxed because I only withdrew the CONTRIBUTION, not the EARNINGS. After entering the 1099-R into TurboTax, it's telling that I must pay tax in amount of 10% of the withdrawal, i.e. $700 in tax. Why is that?
