Retirement tax questions

Please do not enter the returned amount as a contribution under the Deduction and Credit section. Please delete these entries:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click "Federal" from the left side of your screen
  3. Click on “Deduction and Credits” tab on top
  4. Click "edit" next to "Traditional and Roth IRA Contributions"
  5. Remove the checkmark next to "Traditional IRA"
  6. Select "yes" to "Remove Traditional IRA Contributions?"

 

Please follow these steps to enter your 1099-R and the return of RMD:

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on the Search box on the top and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  4. Continue until "How much was a RMD?" and select "none"
  5. Continue "Tell us if you moved the money through a rollover or conversion" and select "I rolled over some or all of it to an IRA or other retirement account within the time limits (normally 60 days)"
  6. Continue answering the questions.

 

 RMDs were waived for 2020 and you must indicate to TurboTax that none of the distribution was RMD. If you already enter the 1099-R as RMD then you must delete and reenter the 1099-R form. Only editing the 1099-R form and changing your answer to the RMD question will not work.
