Yes, you are correct the excess contribution + earnings were for the 2019 year, and therefore you would need to file that information for the 2019 tax return.
You will receive the 1099-R in 2021 and the form will say 2020 on it but because of the P-code will be taxable in 2019. Therefore you have two options:
- Create the 1099-R in your 2019 tax return like DianeC958 mentions above. Then you can ignore the 1099-R when it comes in 2021 and you file your 2020 taxes. The only exception would be if form 1099-R shows federal withholdings then you would still need to enter it on your 2020 tax return.
- Not create a 1099-R right now and wait until you get the actual form 1099-R in 2021. Once you get the form then you will have to amend your 2019 tax return to include it.
