Retirement tax questions

Another option is to report as Other Income.  Here are the steps:

 

In TurboTax online,

  • Sign back into your account, select Pick up where you left off
  • To your left, select Federal
  • From the top, select Wages and Income
  • Scroll down to last section -Less Common Income -select Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C- Start 
  • Next screen, scroll down to Other Reportable Income- Start
  • Follow prompts

As long as you report it on your return as a taxable event, IRS will likely accept it though it's not reported on any tax forms like a 1099.  If you have paid taxes to both foreign and the US tax authorities on this distribution, the IRS allows you to claim a foreign tax credit on your US tax return.  To see how you enter in the program, click here:  Form 1116. It will show on line 1 Schedule 3 and line 20 of your Form 1040.
