How to report return 2024 Roth excess contributions and earnings 1099-R

In 2026, I received a 2025 1099-R for the return of excess Roth contributions I made in 2024 because I had exceeded the 2024 income limits for Roth. I withdrew both the contributions ($2,325) and the earnings ($299) in February 2025,  well before the deadline. I did not, however, realize I was supposed to report the contributions and taxable amount on my 2024 returns, since I did not have a 1099 at the time.

Now today, when I entered this 1099-R on my 2025 tax return, Turbo Tax told me that I need to amend my 2024 return (which is also on Turbo Tax).

 

So my questions are:

1. Does this 1099-R (dated 2025) go ONLY on my 2024 amended tax return; or does it go on my 2025 return as well?

2. Where on my amended 2024 return would I account for this 1099-R? Do I just add it as an extra 1099-R for 2024, even though it is dated 2025?

3. Do I need to include the 1099-R (dated 2025) on my 2025 tax return at all? And if so, where? 

 

Thanks for any clarity you can give me!

How to report return 2024 Roth excess contributions and earnings 1099-R

1. The 2025 Form 1099-R with codes P and J will only go on your 2024 tax return unless you had taxes withheld. If had taxes withheld then  you must enter the 2025 Form 1099-R also into the 2025 tax return since the withholdings are reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2025 code P will not add anything to your income in the 2025 tax return but the withholdings will be applied to 2025.

 

2. Yes, you will enter the 2025 Form 1099-R into your 2024 amended return. There will be a follow-up question asking what year is on the Form 1099-R. This answer combined with code P will let TurboTax know this is taxable in 2024.

 

3. Only if you had taxes withheld will you enter the 2025 Form 1099-R on your 2025 return. Please see Where do I enter my 1099-R? The 2025 code P will not add anything to your income in the 2025 tax return but the withholdings will be applied to 2025.
