roth excess contribution 2025 -- removed but how to report in 2025 return

Thanks in advance.

Made excess contribution to Roth IRA during the calendar year 2025.

Realized while doing tax return in Feb2026.  (let us say the excess payment as $ x )

Understand can be recharacterized or removed before 15Apr26 and avoid 6% penalty.

 

Spoke to ROTH IRA administrator, they were helpful, transferred the entire excess payment

and the earnings made by excess payment to my regular (non-Roth non-IRA) brokerage account

within the same brokerage company.

 

The transferred amount is $ y = $x + $e  (earnings made by $x during 2025). Obviously this earning 

was made in year 2025. [The transfer was done in Feb 2026 ]

 

How do I report this earning Earnings $e made in year 2025 in my tax return the form for year 2025.

But the brokerage says that they will provide a 1099-R only in Jan2027, which will not be useful for

filing 2025 tax return before 15Apr2026.

 

How does one handle this?

thanks and good day
