ROE done in same year- a bit different circumstances than I have seen here

Hi-

I contributed to an IRA for 2024 which turned out to be non-deductible. I realized my mistake right away. Because I have not yet filed my taxes, I did a return of excess and there was a loss (market down). A 1099-R for 2024 will be issued. I then made a correct, deductible SEP contribution for 2024. 

Question- is there a place within TurboTax for me to enter this ROE? I never deducted it in the first place, and am not keeping it as a non-deductible IRA. Thanks so much

Did you request the return of contribution plus earning with your financial institution? If yes, the you should get get a 2025 Form 1099-R in 2026 with code P and 1. This Form 1099-R will have to be included on your 2024 tax return and you have two options: 

 

  • You can wait until you receive the 2025 Form 1099-R in 2026 and amend your 2024 return or
  • You can report it now in your 2024 return and ignore the 1099-R when it comes unless there is Box 4 Federal Tax withholding and/or Box 14 State withholding. Then you must enter the 2025 Form 1099-R into the 2025 tax return since the withholding is reported in the year that the tax was withheld. The 2025 code P will not do anything to change the income in the 2025 tax return income but the withholding will be applied to 2025.

 

To create a Form 1099-R in your 2024 return please follow the steps below:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  4. Answer "Yes" to "Did you get a 1099-R in 2024?"
  5. Select "I'll type it in myself"
  6. Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution minus loss)
  7. Box 2 enter $0
  8. Box 7 enter P and 1
  9. Check the "IRA/ SEP/ SIMPLE" box
  10. Click "Continue"
  11. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2025 1099-R.

Since you had no earning this won't be taxable but TurboTax will add an explanation statement to your return.

Dan, super helpful. Thank you SO much. 

The financial institution is sending the 1099-R I think in my mind I was getting a 2024 1099-R, but it will definitely have year 2025 on it?

In that case, if I create the 1099-R myself will it be for 2024? Also, it was a loss, not a gain. I know I cannot use the loss against my gains for 2024, correct? I transferred securities so the loss was only paper, the shares will grow back. Nano

No. 

 

The form 1099-R you created is for tax year 2025. And you must answer that it is for tax year 2025 when asked in TurboTax.
