I over contributed $1,000 to my 401(k) in 2024 and quickly requested a removal of the excess funds within the same year. However, due to a market loss of $100, only $900 was distributed. Out of that, $100 was withheld for taxes, leaving me with a net receipt of $800. My 1099-R reflects a gross distribution of $900, a taxable amount of $900, $100 tax withheld, and a net distribution of $800 as well as code "8" in box7.
Given the market loss, should I report the $900 as shown on the 1099-R, or should I also account additional $100 for full $1,000 over contribution?
Specifically, is there a way in TurboTax to report the $100 loss, or is that loss not reportable at all?
@DanaB27 @MinhT1 @ErnieS0 @KathrynG3 wondering if you might be help me on this case as the example in turbotax instruct to use code "P", which doesnt makes sense as mine is code "8".

You can enter the Form 1099-R as shown.
A loss is reported in the year of the distribution, therefore, you do not need to enter the full $1,000 excess deferral. You can enter the Form 1099-R as shown and TurboTax will add the $900 to your wages on line 1 h on Form 1040.
