Excess Contribution on 2023 & 2024

I open my Roth IRA on Sep 2021 and made contribution eary of each year.

On 2023, I made contribution on Feb 2023 as usual.

During tax season ( April 2024), I realized that my contribution is limited due to additional income(actually tax SW indicate excess contribution and thus add form 5229 include 6% penalty). It was bit late and thus filed 2023 tax. After I simply remove the excess amount from my Roth not through Fidelity ( 2nd mistake).

once again on Jan 2024, I made 2024 contribution. 

At the end of 2024 (early of 2025) I receive 1099R with code of T. I googled the code of T and realized ( assumed) that Fidelty handle this removal as withdraw.

Again bit late, I decided 2024 tax file first and remove properly. While tax filing, I again learn excess contribution on 2024.

On April 2025, I remove the 2023 excess via Fidelity.

On May  2025, I remove the 2024 excess via Fidelity.

At the end of 2025 ( early 2026), I received two 1099R with code of PJ(2024 removal) and T(2023 removal).

In 1099R with PJ, I see $163.75 in Item 2a - Taxable amount. 

What steps should I have to do before 2025 tax filing?

2024 amendment is needed? 

2023 excess is properly removed?

Excess Contribution on 2023 & 2024

The 2025 1099-R with codes PJ belongs on your 2024 return and you will have to amend your return. You do not need to add Form 1099-R with code PJ on your 2025 return unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withholding and/or Box 14 State withholding. Then you must enter the 2025 Form 1099-R with code PJ into the 2025 tax return since the withholdings are reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2025 code P will not add anything to your income in the 2025 tax return but the withholdings will be applied to 2025.

 

Yes, you removed the 2023 excess contribution but it seems you removed the 2023 excess twice with a regular distribution? Generally, you use a regular distribution (without earnings) when you remove the excess after extended due date (Oct 15th). In this case you pay the 6% penalty until the distribution dissolves the excess contribution. The 2024 Form 1099-R with code T (received in 2025) should have resolved the 2023 excess contribution on your 2024 return.
 

You will enter the 2025 Form 1099-R with code T on your 2025 tax return.
