I have read many discussions on this board, the IRS instructions, as well as tax advisor articles. All give directions on what to do when there is excess contributions, but NONE give directions on reporting the withdrawal on the current year return when there is no 1099. ALL of the ROTH was withdrawn as TP is not eligible to contribute to the ROTH due to the filing status and income. I understand the 1099 will not be produced until the year of withdrawal (2023). However I want to eliminate the 6% penalty being assessed in the the current year return. Form 5329 does not have an option to report the withdrawal prior to the deadline. Does it go on line 11, or 16A, both of which states to enter amounts as of 12/31/22. Am I missing something?
Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.
Yes, lots of the articles point out you get a 2023 1099-R with code P = prior year.
You ignore the corrective distribution if this is for the same tax year as the original ineligible contribution.
Any earnings would be subject to ordinary income tax.
There is not any penalty. It's a wash.
There should not need to be Form 5329.

Thank you for your response. I'd read the Investopedia article, but it didn't provide instructions for reporting.
I finally found how to report the withdrawal on TurboTax. And it works perfectly! You can skip the lines that specifically pertain to TurboTax. But the basic steps are the same in ProSeries. See instructions below. The link provides the entire conversation as well as more detailed instructions for different situations.
REPORTING EXCESS ROTH IRA CONTRIBUTION
You will report the withdrawal of the excess contribution for 2022 plus earnings on your 2022 tax return.
You will get a 2023 Form 1099-R in 2024 with codes P and J for the withdrawal of excess contributions and earnings. This 1099-R will have to be included on your 2022 tax return and you have two options:
To create a Form 1099-R in your 2022 return please follow the steps below:
Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2021" you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2022.
Code 8 (return off taxable contribution in 2022)
Code J (return off taxable contribution in 2021)
