I had an excess contribution of $3344 in 2022, but removed $3350 in April 2023 BEFORE I filed my 2022 taxes.
I received a 2023 1099-R and entered it on my 2023 taxes. Do I need to declare the excess as a distribution on my 2023 taxes? And why is it telling me I need to amend my 2022 tax return?

Your earnings must be reported as taxable income for the year the excess contribution was made, so you’ll still receive a 1099-R to report these earnings on your tax return. You will need to amend your 2022 return to report the earnings. Here is how to report.

To amend using the 2022 Desktop Software, go to:
Now you need to create a substitute 1099R.
You will receive a 1099R for this event next year but you do not need to report this since you are reporting this for year 2023.

"$3344 in 2022, but removed $3350. " 3350 - 3344 is $6, which should be in box 2a
"why is it telling me I need to amend my 2022 tax return?"
That's because the distribution and your $6 of earnings is to be reported on your 2022 tax return, not 2023.
however, since the tax on $6 is negligible, you can ignore that.
The $6 does not go on your 2023 tax return.
@DaveF1006 keeps posting his wrong answer to this question.
I have a 1099-R for 2023, because the $3350 we removed in April 2023 was then cashed out in December 2023 and put in as a cash contribution for 2023 (we did that on April 4, 2024).
I transferred the 1099-R information into Turbo Tax.
Not sure if I have to declare an early distribution from my Roth IRA or anything else.
I have a Capital Gain and that's fine.
The only thing I don't like is amending my 2022 return since I don't want to mess things up even more.
Darn it. I just noticed that I filed my taxes early in 2023, because I was going out of the country.
So I filed taxes on 3/17/23 and did not remove the excess contribution until April.
I guess I do have to amend the 2022 return.
if you removed 2022 "excess plus earning" in April and then another distribution in 2023, you would get two 1099-Rs.
The first would be code PJ.
Is that what happened?
What are the second 1099-R code(s).
