@taxgirl41 - The code P or 8, depends on the year that the contribution was *for*. For a 2019 1099-R a code P means a *2018* contribution returned in 2019. A code 8 means a *2019* contribution returned in 2019.
A 2019 1099-R with a code P is reported on a *2018* tax return. A 2019 1099-R with a code 8, is reported next year on a *2019* tax return - nothing would go on the 2018 tax return.
[This is assuming a 2019 1099-R that has not yet been received. If it was a 2018 1099-R then you would already have the actual 1099-R and would just enter it as written.]
