Get your taxes done using TurboTax

The TurboTax developers presumably chose to require splitting the Form 1099-R due to the potential complexities of determining how to split the form under various circumstances.  Because a 1099-R form that has no tax withholding is not included in the e-filing, splitting the form for entry into TurboTax will not be apparent to the IRS.
