The best option would be to create create a dummy 1099-R now. TurboTax will add an explanation statement with your return.

 

To create a Form 1099-R in your 2024 return please follow the steps below:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  4. Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2024?"
  5. Select "I'll type it in myself"
  6. Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution plus earning)
  7. Box 2 enter the earnings of $0
  8. Box 7 enter P
  9. Check the "IRA/ SEP/ SIMPLE" box
  10. Click "Continue"
  11. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2025 1099-R.

 

Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2023" you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2024.
