Help with Excess Contribution to IRA

I’ve made an IRA excess contribution in 2020, and just withdrew the excess amount. My broker noted that the 1099-R form will be issued in 2022, and I would not receive any additional form this year related to the contribution or the withdrawal.

Could you please let me know how I should report the items noted below in TurboTax:

- Initial contribution

- Excess amount withdrawal

- Earnings on the excess amount

 

Thanks,

    Have you received the refund plus earnings?    What type of IRA - Traditional or Roth?

    I have received the refund plus earnings, minus about 10% federal tax on earnings. This is a tradational IRA.

    Then unless you know form the IRA trustee what codes they will put in box 7, you should wait for the 1099-R that might require amending 2020 to report it..    But the tax withheld will be reported on yiur 2021 tax return if it was returned in 2021.
