How to Report 2024 Roth IRA Excess Contributions Removal on 2024 Return without 1099-R?

Hello,

I need someone to confirm the correct steps for reporting an excess Roth IRA contribution removal on my 2024 return.

 

My Situation:

  • In 2024: I inadvertently contributed $7000 to my Roth IRA but had $0 earned income.

  • In 2025: Before my extended filing deadline (Oct 15), I had Schwab process a "return of excess contribution."

      • This was done as an in-kind distribution, meaning the mutual fund shares were moved directly from my Roth IRA to my taxable Schwab One account without being sold.
      • No federal or state taxes were withheld ($0).
  • Earnings: The gross distribution was $10,195 so the taxable earnings are $3,195 (10,195-7,000).

  • The problem: I won't get an official 1099-R until 2026, but I know the earnings are taxable on my 2024 return.

My Goal: I want to file a complete and accurate 2024 return now without needing to amend it in 2026.

 

Proposed Steps in TurboTax:

Based on forum research, it seems I should manually enter a 2025 Form 1099-R.

 

Could you please confirm if the following steps are the correct way to handle this?

 

Step 1: Fill 1099-R Details

  • Who paid you?: CHARLES SCHWAB & CO., INC.
  • Payer's TIN: 94-1737782
  • Box 1 (Gross): $10,195
  • Box 2a (Taxable): $3,195

  • Box 4: $0
  • Box 7 (Codes): Check "I have more than one value in Box 7" and enter codes P and J.
  • Leave unchecked the "IRA/SEP/SIMPLE is checked" Checkbox (Because the help text says this is not for Roth IRAs).
  • State Info: Box 14 (Withheld): $0, Box 15 (State): Ohio, Box 16 (Distribution): $10,195. (Should I be leaving these boxes blank or fill them like this?)

  • Leave other fields blank

Step 2: "What year is on your CHARLES SCHWAB & CO., INC. 1099-R?"

[  ] 2024

[X] 2025

(This probably triggered because of P and J codes?)

 

Step 3: "Do any of these situations apply to you?" checkboxes

[  ] I took out this money due to a qualified disaster

[  ] I need to file a substitute 1099-R 

[  ] The corrected box is checked on this 1099-R

[X] None of these apply

 

As I have not received 1099-R from Schwab yet, and this is like a "pretend" 1099-R, should I be checking the second option "I need to file a substitute 1099-R" OR just select "None of these apply" because I'm indicating that it's a 2025 1099-R in previous question?

 

Step 4: Penalty Exception

Enter the earnings ($3,195) next to "Corrective distributions made before the due date of the return."

 

Step 5: Explain the Return of Contribution

Finally, it asks for a description. Is the following statement clear and sufficient for the IRS?

TIMELY RETURN OF EXCESS 2024 ROTH IRA CONTRIBUTION, REMOVED BEFORE EXTENDED DUE DATE (OCT 15, 2025). EXCESS WAS DUE TO $0 EARNED INCOME.

Thank you for the help!
