Get your taxes done using TurboTax

You will have to split Form 1099-R into two separate Forms for TurboTax to handle this situation. One for the rollover to the traditional IRA and one for the conversion. As long as the total and distributions codes match entering it like this will not cause a problem.

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
  2. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  3. Enter the first 1099-R for the rollover into the traditional IRA:
    1. Box 1 Enter amount send to traditional IRA
    2. Box 2b check
    3. Box 5 blank
  4. On the "Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?" screen answer "No"
  5. On the "Did you move the money to a Roth IRA?" screen answer "No"
  6. Enter a second 1099-R for the conversion to Roth IRA:
    1. Box 1 Enter amount send to Roth IRA
    2. Box 2b check
    3. Box 5 enter amount listed on Form 1099-R
  7. On the "Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?" screen answer "No"
  8. On the "Did you move the money to a Roth IRA?" screen answer "Yes"

 

 

You shouldn't have an entry on Form 8606 for this transaction since this was from a 401(k). The original post had a conversion from a traditional IRA to Roth IRA.
