International tax treaty-related issues are out of scope for advice. Please consult a specialized professional for verification.
If you are certain about your entries, here are the steps:
In TurboTax online,
- Sign in to your account and select Pick up where you left off
- At the right upper corner, type in 1099r, then Enter
- Select Jump to 1099r
- Follow prompts
- Next screen, Choose your bank or brokerage, select I'll type it in myself
- On the screen Tell Us Which 1099-R You Have, check the box I need to prepare a substitute 1099-R and follow the prompts.
As to the Federal ID, try entering nine 9s. If electronic errors occur due to 1099-R data entry, enter the pension under Miscellaneous income, see instructions below. As long as the IRS has the pension reported and included in total income, it is not problematic.
- To your left, select Federal
- From the top, select Wages and Income
- Scroll down to last section -Less Common Income -select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C- Start
- Next screen, scroll down to Other Reportable Income- Start
- Follow prompts
If it is not taxable to you, to enter the exemption, follow here:
- report your full amount as instructed above. Then enter the treaty exempt amount as a negative amount (e.g. -5000) under Other Reportable Income as instructed above.
- Download and fill in a Form 8833 from IRS to claim an exception. https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/f8833.pdf
- You cannot e-file. You can still use the TurboTax program to prepare your tax forms, but you need to print them out and submit them by mail along with form 8833.
