Retirement tax questions

Total Excess contributions to Roth IRA for 2023 = $3500

Gross Distribution = $4071.06  ($3500 contributions and $571.06 earnings)

Taxable Amount = $513.95

 

The taxable amount reported on this Form 1099-R is incorrect.  The taxable amount has to be $571.06 because the tax withholding is not permitted to be subtracted from the taxable amount.  The payer needs to correct this Form 1099-R.

 

The penalty exception for the earnings distributed can be claimed on the $571.06.
