Retirement tax questions
The loss on your Roth IRA is not deductible but you should not owe taxes on the loss since you contributed the money to a Roth IRA.
In amending your 2018 return put in the full amount you contribute to the Roth IRA. Then you will have a form 8606 for the amount that was overcontributed.
With the information from the 8606 form as a part of your 2019 return, it tells the program when you withdraw the money that there is no penalty due on the withdrawal.
