Retirement tax questions

Last year?  Do you mean 2019?  If so, you would be receiving a Form 1099-R in January 2020 for the withdrawal in 2019.  And yes you do have to report the withdrawal using the Form 1099-R on your 2019 tax return.  There will be a question asked what did you do with the money?  You should indicate that you returned the money to the same account.
