Withdrawal of Roth Contributions (Not Excess Contributions)

[Djscoe1]

A client, age 40, has been contributing to a Roth for 21 years.  He has made contributions over the years totaling $26k.  He recently withdrew $34K which would be the original contributions plus earnings.  The original contributions are not taxable but the earnings ($8k) are.  The 1099-R shows the Gross Distribution of $34k, blank Taxable and Code J.

What is the proper way of inputting it so only the earnings are taxable? The distribution is not qualified.

You need to input his basis, scroll down the 1099R worksheet, you should find a button to take you to the ROTH worksheet
