I have not filed my return for 2018, but plan to do so this week.
I had excess contributions to a Roth IRA in 2018. The excess contributions and associated earnings were withdrawn in March 2019. This will be reflected in a 2019 Form 1099-R, which I will receive in time to support preparation of my tax return for 2019, not my return for 2019.
It is my understanding that:
It is unclear to me how to reflect this in TurboTax for my 2018 return. Please help!

For the TurboTax entry in 2018, you want to enter your contribution (in Deductions & Credits) for the amount with the withdrawal. This will prevent the additional penalty for excess contribution and TurboTax will efile the return. In 2019, you will receive a 1099-R with the withdrawal and Box 2 taxable amount which will be entered on your 2019 tax return as income. This represents the earnings (if any) on the contribution before it was withdrawn.
