1. 1099-R (PJ), amendment needed? 2. Check This Entry: IRA Contributions Worksheet: Line 7 - Excess traditional IRA contribution credit
I have two issues/questions:
#1. I contributed to my Roth IRA throughout 2023 under the 2023 year. In January 2024, I made an extra contribution under year 2023 to get to the $6,500 limit. Shortly after, I found out my income exceeded the limit, and I had over-contributed. I immediately removed the excess contribution.
This year I received:
- a 1099-R with tax year 2024 listed, 1,090 in box 1 (gross distribution) and 67.78 listed in box 2a taxable amount, and PJ in box 7 (distribution codes)
- a 1099-R with tax year 2024 listed, 67.78 in box 1 (gross distribution) and 0.0 listed in box 2a taxable amount, and 8J in box 7 (distribution codes)
My questions for the above:
2023 Return: Do I need to amend my 2023 return? If so, which (or both) of the 1099-Rs do I need to include?
2024 Return: Which (or both) of the 1099-Rs do I need to include?

#2. In 2024, I contributed only $57.12 to my Roth IRA and then switched to Traditional for my remaining contributions. I contributed several thousand during 2024, and in January of 2025, I contributed the remainder to meet the $7,000 limit between both accounts ($6,942.88 into the traditional IRA). My income is again too high to contribute up to the full Roth IRA limit, but not so high that I could not contribute $57.12 before doing the rest under traditional.
