The allocation of my IRA 1099-R Distribution was mixed; part in actual withdrawal (cash), part transferred into a Roth IRA, part Rolled back into the IRA under the 2020 no-RMD wavier.

 


Assuming you mean by "no-RMD waiver" you qualify for the COVID related roll back.

 

Unfortunately this is a situation (two destinations - rollover and Roth conversion) that TurboTax does not support on a single 1099-R.

 

You must split the 1099-R into two using the exact same data except box 1 and 2a.

 

Enter the amount of the Roth conversion in box 1 and 2a in one 1099-R and answer the RMD question that NONE of it was a RMD, then say you moved the  money to another retirement account and did a "combination of things".  Enter the amount if the Roth conversion in the bottom box.

 

Enter the amount of the rollover and cash in box 1 and 2a in the other 1099-R and answer the RMD question that NONE or to was a RMD, then say you moved the  money to another retirement account and did a "combination of things".  Enter the amount rolled over in the top box. 

 

The resulting 1040 form line 4a should now have the total of the original 1099-R box 1 and line 4b should have that taxable amount of the Roth conversion and the amount taken in cash.  With and explanation statement next to it.

 

NOTE: it you had any tax withheld in box 4 then include that on the second 1099-R and it will also be taxable income on the 1040 line 4b.
