Roth Excessive Contribution - still reportable?

[nobodyimportant2425]

In 2024 I made an excessive roth contribution due to MAGI. I have created the 1099-R to instruct turbotax that I have removed my excess roth contribution, and filled it out based on directions in other threads.

My question is should I still report a 2024  roth contribution or should I remove that manually and just depend on the excess contribution 1099-R to convey what occured?

Yes, you should report the contribution in TurboTax because you will be given the options onscreen for what you intend to do to correct the excess contribution.  Once you have indicated that you will remove the excess before the due date of your return, there will not be any 6% penalty imposed.

 A couple of employee tax expert have a different view on this though so I am confused. Can you help?

MinhT1 said that  "On your 2024 tax return, you do not report the excess contribution as it has been withdrawn."

ThomasM125 said that "You don't need to enter the IRA contribution, since it will be withdrawn by the due date of the return."

You can do both you can enter not enter the Roth IRA contribution if withdrew all of it plus earnings or you can enter enter the Roth IRA contribution and enter on the penalty screen that you withdrew it by the due date. Both result that you do not show an excess contribution on Form 5329.
