Question

Received 1099R this yr for last yr's 401K excess contribution that we took out before 4/15 and reported on last year return. Do we need to enter it in TurboTax this year?

The 1099R has code P (excess contributions plus earnings/excess deferrals (and/or earnings) taxable last year.

If you reported the excess contribution on last year's tax return, you can ignore Form 1099-R with a code "P" in box 7.   

Any earnings (if any) will be reported on a separate Form 1099-R with a Code "8" in Box 7 that should be reported on your 2018 tax return.

If there was a loss on the distribution of your excess contribution, you can Include the loss as a negative amount on Schedule 1, line 21 (Other Income) and designate it “Loss on Excess Deferral Distribution” .
