Hello. Requesting help please in how to report the 2 1099-R 2024 forms received for withdrawing from Roth IRA to correct excess contributions made.
In December 2023, $7,500 contribution was made to Roth IRA for 2023 year. In January 2024, $8,000 contribution was made to Roth IRA for 2024 year.
I later realized in March 2024 while doing 2023 taxes that I was not eligible to contribute to Roth IRA account for both 2023 and 2024 years. For 2023 year contribution, the entire amount contributed in excess ($7,500) was withdrawn, along with any earnings - this was done in March 2024. The same action was taken in March 2024 for the entire amount contributed in excess ($8,000) along with any earnings for the 2024 year contribution.
When I completed 2023 year tax, I entered into TurboTax that $7,500 was contributed to Roth IRA for 2023 year, and that $7,500 was withdrawn before the tax due date in April 2024, and no penalty incurred.
In 2025, I received 2 1099-R forms, both with 2024 on the form:
1) 1st form is for 2023 excess contribution withdrawn along with earnings, and has code PJ. There is an amount shown in box 4 for 'Federal income tax withheld."
2) 2nd form is for 2024 excess contribution withdrawn along with earnings, and has code J8. There is an amount shown in box 4 for 'Federal income tax withheld."
Questions:
1) Do I have to amend 2023 tax return and report form with JP code for 2023 year excess contribution withdrawn? I reported in the 2023 tax return that the entire amount contributed was withdrawn before tax due date for that year.
2) For 2024 tax return currently in progress, I will enter/report the form with code J8 for 2024 excess contribution. May I confirm that this is correct please?
3) For 2024 tax return currently in progress, I will also report form with code JP for 2023 excess contribution because box 4 has an amount shown for 'Federal income tax withheld." Is this correct please?
4) If I have to enter both forms for 2024 tax return, after both forms are entered into TurboTax, I encounter issue of TurboTax asking me to "Identify the plan," and the only options are qualified retirement plan, nonqualified annuity, modified endowment contract. The problem is that Roth IRA is not a qualified retirement plan, and is also not the other 2 options. I am not able to pass this screen without selecting 1 of the listed options.
Thank you for your help.
