Retirement tax questions
The 10K is just reported as income. You're doing your schedule C using that 10K.
The return of the 9K and change is going to be entered on a substitute 1099-R that you're going to create. The 1099-R is a form that you will receive in January of 2026 for the 2025 tax year but since you're going to enter it on your 2024 tax return you will be able to ignore it when you receive it next year.
In the wages and income section of your federal return you will scroll down to the section marked 'Retirement Plans and Social Security' and click start next to the one marked "IRA, 401K, Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)". Then, when it asks about your 1099-R you'll say "I'll type it in myself".
On the next screen you'll tick the box for 1099-R. You'll also tick the box that says "I need to prepare a substitute 1099-R". Then you'll enter the total amount that you received ($9000.50 in your numbers) into box 1 of the 1099R and the taxable amount ($0.50 in your numbers, which counts as a dollar for IRS purposes) in box 2a. The only other information that you have to enter is code 8 in box 7. Code 8 indicates that it is the return of an overcontribution. Do not check the IRA box.
That's it. The reporting will be done. As I said before you will still get the real 1099-R next year but when you do you can just file it since it was already reported.
