Hello, I'm using the TurboTax desktop version. I opened my Roth IRA in 2021 and contributed $3000. I did a $2,847 distribution in Jan 2023. Now I have the 1099-R and box 2b (Taxable amount not determined) is checked with the total distribution as blank. I am under 59 and my account is still open with $1.45 since many investments did poorly. I got up to this question and wondered what amount I would enter to confirm my net regular contributions prior to 2023 that remain in my Roth IRA. Would it be the $3000 initial contribution in 2021? I also received a Form 5498 for 2021.

You are required to maintain your own records of contributions removed from a Roth IRA.
Some contributions removed may be reported on Form 8606,
Only you know the total amount of contributions remaining.
TurboTax tries to track it but you can't rely on that 100% even if you are a life long user of TurboTax.
As for the Note: conversions are tracked separately, adding more complexity.
Based on my comment, what value did you decide to enter in the box ?
Did TurboTax already show an amount in the box to confirm?
