Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You should have received Form 1099-R and not 1099-Div for the dividends from the 401k account. Cash dividends on stock in your 401(k), paid to you, are distributions from the 401(k) reportable on Form 1099-R. Please contact the issuer to see if they can issue you the correct form.

 

Once you got the correct Form 1099-R you will enter it with these steps:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R
  4. Continue "Tell us if you moved the money through a rollover or conversion" and select "I rolled over some or all of it to an IRA or other retirement account within the time limits (normally 60 days)"
  5. Continue answering the questions.

 

Please be aware, if the tax withheld wasn't replaced by other funds to have a 100% rollover then the taxes withheld would be considered a distribution and subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty if you are under 59 1/2.
