Retirement tax questions
Delete the 1 1099R and split into 2 1099R transactions. Enter them manually. Make sure when you are done all the boxes totaled equal the amounts in the original 1099R. The 8915-E will be used for penalty relief from early retirement plan distributions and include the option to spread the distribution income over 3 years. This may be a good option if the distribution is pushing you into a higher marginal tax bracket. You may end up paying less tax if you spread the distribution over the 3 years. After you have logged in and are in your return in TurboTax Online:
- Go to Search at the top of the screen.
- then enter Form 1099-R in the search box.
- You will see a Jump To function that will take you to the 1099-R input screens.
- There delete the 1099R in question by clicking on the trash can next to the form
- Then add a new 1099R and manually enter your 1099R.
At the financial services screens, click "Change how I enter my form" then "Type it myself"
Make sure and check the Covid distribution box in Uncommon Situations.
