Excess IRA Contribution Reporting

Hi,

I have made some excess IRA contributions in Jan 2022 and withdrawn in Dec 2022. Now I am having reporting issues with TurboTax. For simplicity,

1. I contributed $3000 into IRA on Jan 2022

2. I converted the full amount to Roth in a few weeks later

3. Because it turned out I didn't have enough earned income in 2022 for the IRA, I asked to withdraw the entire contribution from Roth, which turned out to be, say, $2000 after capital loss.

In 2023, I received two 1099-R: 1099-R-1 for the Roth, $2000, which is correctly marked as code 8J (excess) in box 7 with table amount (box 2a) of 0. The other one 1099-R-2 is for Simple IRA, $3000, which is marked as taxable amount not determined (2b), and total distribution.

Now the question is how to report the 1099-R-2: If I just enter this 1099-R-2 in Income section as is, Turbotax would treat this as taxable IRA distribution.

In the Deduction & Credit section, should I report this $3000 as IRA contribution even though it was converted to Roth and later full withdrawn? Or should I just not report it on the contribution side at all?

My situation is a bit more complicated than this but would appreciate someone can help me answer this question first.

Thanks,
ZX

If you did not deduct the traditional IRA contributions on your tax return, you must indicate that you had nondeductible contributions or the distribution is taxed. Look for the question about nondeductible contributions after you enter your 1099-Rs.

Thank you - How do I enter nondeductible contributions for this 2022? I tried to enter the IRA contribution at the Deduction and Credit section but didn't seem to be correctly treated as non-deducible.

This is entered in the Wages & Income section (see below). First you will have to DELETE the Roth IRA entry. Next, Edit the 1099-R for the traditional IRA and you must indicate that it was converted to a Roth IRA. You will go back to the "Here's your 1099-R info"- Continue.

Next you will see Have you ever taken a disaster distribution before 2022?

Next is Any Nondeductible Contributions to JACK's IRA?

Then you have to go back and enter the 1099-R for the ROTH IRA.

On the "Any Nondeductible Contributions to IRA" section, it doesn't allow me to specify how much 2022 contribution is nondeductible. It just ask me the basis of Dec 31 2021, which was 0, and the value of Dec 31 2022, which is 0 again. There is no way for me to specify the amount of non-deducible 2022 contribution.

Also does deleting 1099-R for Roth has any effect? I have deleted it and reenter it after adding 1099-R for IRA. It doesn't seem to have any effect.

Is there a way for me to go to Form 8806 (?) directly and modify the number?

Best regards,

Can you clarify what the Box 7 Code on the traditional IRA 1099-R is? You needed to delete the Roth IRA 1099-R and enter the traditional IRS first to get the correct questions. If you are using the online version of TurboTax, you cannot access the Forms-and although you have access to override the forms in the desktop version, by doing so you are not able to e-file.
