Retirement tax questions

Yes.  You can enter it as though you had received a 1099-R for the distribution that you got back.  Enter the 1099-R with the name and address of the financial institution and then the total amount that you received in box 1.  In box 2a put only the earnings that you received - that is the only amount that is taxable.  In box 7 you will enter code 8.

 

Next year you should receive a 1099-R with this exact information on it.  You should ignore that when you get it since you will have already entered it onto this year's return.
