Retirement tax questions

You can enter a 1099-R with Codes J and P in Box 7 (lines 1 and 2),  the excess amount in Box 1 and Earnings of $0 in Box 2.  If you receive a 1099-R in 2026 for the correction, you won't need to enter it unless you paid Tax on it, which will be taxed on your 2025 return.

 

When you enter the 1099-R, you'll get a few follow-up questions, but not the exact one you mention, if you're using TurboTax Desktop. You'll be asked the year of your 1099-R (2025) and enter an explanation (excess contribution not allowed). 

 

Here's more info on Excess Roth IRA Contributions.
