Hi, I'm below the age of 59 1/2 and realized I overcontributed my Roth IRA done in 2024 while performing 2024 tax return. I have went ahead to withdrawal the excess contribution plus earnings from the 2024 contribution from Fidelity this month (in 2025).

1. However, since I won't get 1099-R form until 2026 because the withdrawal was made in 2025- how can I correctly report the earnings amount from the 2024 contribution in the 2024 tax return?

2. Additionally, will I still indicate I have made the Roth IRA contribution in my 2024 tax return even though I've already withdrew all the contributions out already?

Not A Product Question

Yes, here is how to report;

Open your return
Click on the "Search" on the top and type “1099-R”
Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
Select "I'll type it in myself"
Box 1 enter total distribution (contribution plus earning)
Box 2 enter the earnings
Box 7 enter P and J
On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2025 1099-R.

What would I do with the 2025 1099-R received at beginning of 2026 for the 2024 excess contribution on the 2025 tax return?

You may report it, but it won't be taxable income on your return.
