Where do I enter early IRA withdrawl amount?

my company closed out our pensions which I rolled over to an IRA account. I have withdrawn money from that account and don't know where to enter it on my taxes.

I have entered the 1099-R but my 1099-R shows the amount rolled over from my pension check to my IRA and not the amount I withdrew from IRA. That's where I'm confused on where to enter that.

Was the code in box 7 a 7 indicating a normal distribution? If so, then there was a series of questions presented after completing entry of the Form 1099-R. One of the screens asks What Did You Do With the Money? Choose the option that states you moved the money to another retirement account.

Box 7 has code G.

When did you withdraw the funds, before or after the transfer? Was the full amount of the transfer shown on the Form 1099-R box1?

I did a withdrawl in January and the banker at the credit union said I would still file taxes on it this year because I got the pension check in 2024. I did not withdraw the full amount only a portion. Yes the full amount was in box 1.

Let me ask an expert to answer @dmertz could you assist. The issue is a 401(k) rollover to an IRA but the user withdrew some funds and needs to know how to account for those funds.

The ordinary distribution that you received in January 2025 will be reportable on your 2025 tax return, not on your 2024 tax return. This distribution is independent of the rollover reported on the code-G 2024 Form 1099-R.

The code-G Form 1099-R is reportable on your 2024 tax return as you have already done.
