Get your taxes done using TurboTax

As you describe it the distribution was definitely from the IRA. 

 

I expect that you received a 1099-R detailing this transaction. There is a check box inside of Box 7 that says IRA/ SEP SIMPLE.  If it is checked, you should not get that question.

 

This is how to post a 1099-R

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 

  2. Click "Wages & Income" on the top

  3. Scroll down to  "IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)" 

  4. Answer "Yes" to the question "Did You Have Any of These Types of Income?"

  5. Click "I'll Type it Myself"

  6. Choose "Form 1099-R, Withdrawal of Money from 401(k) Retirement Plans, Pensions, IRAs, etc."

  7. Click "Continue"

  8. From here TurboTax will walk you through entering your Form 1099-R

 

Once you complete the first one you can Add Another 1099-R
