Retirement tax questions

Do not use a substitute Form 1099-R

Instead you must fabricate a 2025 1099-R with the codes PJ and earnings in taxable amount box.

Tell TurboTax the 1099-R is a 2025 1099-R

 

whatever you chosse to apply to 2025 contribution it must be no more than your compensation, or $7,000 whichever is smaller. Otherwise you will be back in the same boat.

 

If you report the correct positive earnings now, you can ignore the 1099-R next year, assuming it agrees with your fabrication.

 

There is no longer a  10% penalty on the excess earnings removed before age 59 1/2.

You don't need an explanation statement for this scenario.
