Retirement tax questions
Yes I could provide you with a screen shot. But first let me describe the values in question. On This RMD the value in box 1 is the gross distribution which is equal to the minimun required distribution for 2019. In box 2a is a value that is les than box 1 and is the taxable amount which is less than the figure in box 1 by the amount in box 5. Box 5 is after tax dollars submitted over the life of the plan via paycheck deductions several years ago. In the edit mode for this RMD entry there is breakdown that confirms that the gross distribution is the RMD. but does not breakdown the taxable values. It completely misses the purpose of the value in 2a.
Later in the progression preparation of the Taxes there is a display that shows the total taxable value all the RMD's and the taxable values of other entities. The total taxable value of the RMD's shown is the sum of the gross value in box 1 of the subject RMD and the RMD of another unrelated IRA.
I have been using Turbo Tax every year since I had to start the RMD stuff. Never had this problem before. It looks to me like the software is at fault. Its getting late so I will check back in tomorrow morning.
