Retirement tax questions

Yes, you will file Form 5329 to enter the exception to the 10% early withdrawal penalty.   

 

To confirm you received a 2024 Form 1099-R with code PJ for the return of excess contribution plus earnings made in 2023 for 2023?

 

If yes, then this form has to be entered on your 2023 return if you didn't file it with the original return since the earnings in box 2a are taxable in 2023. Please see How do I amend my federal tax return for a prior year?

 

  1. Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
  2. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  3. Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2024?"
  4. Select "I'll type it in myself"
  5. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2024 Form 1099-R.
  6. Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
  7. Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Corrective distributions made before the due date of the return".

Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2022" but you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2023.

 

 

Also make sure you indicate in the IRA contribution interview that you withdrew the excess contribution by the due date:

 

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “IRA contributions”
  2. Click on “Jump to IRA contributions"
  3. Select “Roth IRA
  4. Enter the Roth IRA contribution
  5. Continue until the penalty screen and enter the excess contribution amount withdrawn.
