Retirement tax questions

Please follow the directions below to record this excess contribution withdrawal.

1. Enter the amount of your original contribution.

2. When TurboTax indicates that you have an excess contribution, enter the amount that you've returned as an excess contribution in the box labeled Excess Contribution Withdrawn Before Due Date of Your Return

3. TurboTax will now treat your contribution amount correctly. 

4. At some point, TurboTax should ask you to provide an explanation statement for the return of contribution, since the Form 1099-R for this distribution will not be issued for another year as a 2016 Form 1099-R.
