Get your taxes done using TurboTax

I am still having trouble following the steps.

 

There's a disconnect in how I am understanding and following your instructions.  Here's your instructions and what the TurboTax Deluxe 2021 screens read:

 

You: go to the Retirement Income section

Me: Opens with Tabs: Personal Info.; Federal Taxes; State Taxes; Review; File

 

You: Click on Federal

Me: Click on Tab that reads: Federal Taxes.  The Federal Taxes Opens Up these Tabs:  Wages & Income; Deductions & Credits; Other Tax Situations; Federal Review; Smart Check.

 

You: Click on Wages & Income

Me: Click on Tab that reads:  Wages & Income.  Screen ask: "How do you want to enter your income?"  It has two (2) choices.  Choice 1 reads: "Walk me through everything"  Choice 2 reads: "I'll choose what I work on".   I tried both and the results were the same for me.  I choose to click on: Choice 2 reads: "I'll choose what I work on".

 

You: I scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security

Me: Clicking on Choice 2 from above, the screen changed and read "Your 2021 Income Summary". 

Scrolled down to "Retirement Plans and Social Security".  

Found: IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).

You: click on the Start or Revisit button

Me: Tab reads: "Update", not Start or Revisit button. 

 

You: Did you get a 1099-R in 2021? Click on NO, if you did not receive a 2021 Form 1099-R in 2022

Me: Screen reads "Your1099-R Entries".  "Here's what we have so far.  You can add, edit (change) or delete forms."  The opinion was not available to: Click on NO, if you did not receive a 2021 Form 1099-R in 2022.

 

I did not receive a 1099-R for the IRA this year. How do I my taxes right for Covid19 - 2nd year of the 2021 distribution.  The Payer of my IRA withheld 10% tax in 2020.  I did not realize it and paid an additional 1/3 more taxes on top of the original withholdings.  Now, I need to pay an 1/3 on this 2nd year 2021, and then the last 1/3 in 2022.

 

At this point, I am not sure what to do.  Can you share your expert knowledge as to how to proceed?  Time is running out and I truly need your help.

 

Thank you very much,
