Retirement tax questions

In Box 7 on the 10999-R entry screen, remove Code 2 (even if it is on your 1099-R) and only enter Code B.

 

Code B is for a designated Roth distribution.  However, Code 2 does NOT apply to Roth distributions -- it is for Early Distribution except Roth IRA.


Code B is not for a Roth IRA, it is a designated Roth.

 

Box 7 code B2 certainly is a valid code

The 1099-R instructions say:

"If the distribution is from a designated Roth account, enter Code B as well as Code 2 in box 7."

If there are 2 coded in box 7 then check the box under box 7 to add the 2nd code.
