How do I report a 1099R from a Roth IRA where the money was only my original contributions? Turbo tax is noting it as income.

You'll be entering the 1099-R exactly as stated on the printed form, paying particular attention to step 5 below. (See the attached screenshot below. Click to enlarge.)

Also, please note that all distributions will be reported on your tax return (whether or not they are taxable) on Form 1040 on line 15(a) (or 16(a) but only the taxable portion will show on your return as taxable on line 15(b) (or 16(b)).

Please feel free to post any additional details or questions in the comment section.
