Retirement tax questions
To clarify, you requested the withdrawal of excess contribution plus earnings with the financial institution (usually they have a form to fill out)? Did you report the earnings on your 2023 tax return?
If yes, then they should have issued a Form 1099-R with codes P and J. You should show them the Form 1099-R instructions:
"For the distribution of excess Roth IRA contributions, report the gross distribution in box 1 and only the earnings in box 2a. Enter Code J and Code 8 or P in box 7."
If you only took a regular distribution for the excess amount without earnings then they issued the correct Form 1099-R and you will have to enter it on your 2024 return. You would have to pay the 6% excess contribution penalty on your 2023 return. Pease see How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?
To enter Form 1099-R with code T:
- Login to your TurboTax Account
- Click on "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”
- Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter all your 1099-Rs
- Click "Continue" on the "Review your 1099-R info" screen after you entered all you Form 1099-R
- Answer "Owned Any Roth IRA for Five Years?" screen
- Continue through the questions and make sure you enter the net contributions prior to 2024 on the "Enter Prior Year Roth IRA Contributions" screen
- On the "Do you have any Excess Roth Contributions" answer "Yes"
- On the "Enter Excess Contributions" screen enter the total excess contribution from 2023.
Please note if you had the Roth IRA for 5 years, then this is a Qualified Distribution and not taxable. If you had the Roth IRA less than 5 years you can withdraw contribution anytime, tax- and penalty-free. Therefore, you won't have any double-taxation.
