Do I need to report to report Roth IRA withdrawals in my tax report?

    Best answer by Opus 17

    Yes, you must report the withdrawals.  Even though they might not be taxable, they count as "income" for certain other calculations.  Also, if you are under age 59-1/2, the IRS may assume your withdrawal is taxable and subject to a penalty unless you certify (by filing) that you are only withdrawing your original contributions, and not earnings.

    If you have a withdrawal from the Roth IRA in 2023 then you should have received a Form 1099-R from the administrator of the account in January 2024.  The Form 1099-R has to be reported on your federal tax return.
