After you file

What is your question? Inherited money is not reported on Form 1099-R. A death benefit from a pension would be.

 

When a participant in a retirement plan dies, benefits the participant would have been entitled to are usually paid to the participant’s designated beneficiary in a form provided by the terms of the plan (lump-sum distribution or an annuity).

 

If you entered the 1099-R exactly as it appears, the amount could be taxable.
