section 333 of the secure 2.0 act 2024

Turbotax home&business 2024 desktop. guess I'm too complicated...?

I have 3 1099r well 2 I created 3rd.

1. I converted $ from Ira to Roth Ira, so I owe taxes. 1099r. TurboTax ok

2. I also added yearly contributions $8000 to Roth which I found out I can't, so I withdrew but I have to pay taxes on earnings. excess contributions, but TurboTax wants to add 10% penalty, which section 333 of the secure 2.0 act eliminated the 10% early withdrawal penalty on earnings for excess contributions using the timely correction. 

3. I also have 1099r for pension, taxes already withheld but then TurboTax adds $1000 I owe. why?

HELP ! please....

To remove the 10% penalty amount, you first ‌need to report in your return that you removed the excess contribution by April 15. You will then prepare a 1099R entry to report the removal of the excess contribution. Here is how to report the 1099R.

 

  1. Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution plus earnings.
  2. Box 2a enter the earnings
  3. Box 7 enter J and P These will be two separate entries
  4. Click "Continue"
  5. On "Is the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE box on this 1099-R checked?" screen answer "No, the box is blank"?
  6. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2025 Form 1099-R.
  7. Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
  8. Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Corrective distributions made before the due date of the return".

As far as the 1099R with extra tax, this may have happened for two reasons. 

 

  • The extra income may have placed you in a higher tax bracket
  • There may have not been enough tax withheld.

Check your entry just to make sure your tax is withheld  and reported in Box 4 in your TurboTax program.

Thanks, @DaveF1006

I finally found "Corrective distributions made before the due date of the return" and checked the box and 10% penalty is gone. But have To pay taxes on earnings.

And Ira to Roth conversion was more taxes.

So everything is cool now!

Boy this has been a ruff learning experience this tax year...

Thanks again!  😊
