Get your taxes done using TurboTax

If the 1099-R has an amount in Box 2a which reflects the amount that you converted to a Roth, TurboTax should automatically correctly report that as the taxable amount. When you are entering the information from  the 1099-R:

  1. The amount in Box 1 should be the total withdrawn
  2. Box 2a should be the taxable amount that was converted to a Roth
  3. Box 7 should be Code G
  4. The IRA/SEP/Simple box should not be checked if it's coming from a 401(k)
  5. After you enter the information, answer No, the box is blank to Is the IRA/SEP/SIMPLE Box on 1099-R checked?
  6. Answer No to Did this money come from a Roth IRA?
  7. Answer Yes to Did you move this money from a 401(k) to a Roth 401(k)?

Once you have it entered, it should appear on your tax return like this (with the total Rollover in Box 5a and the Taxable Roth conversion in 5b):
