Retirement tax questions

Enter your Form 1099-R and be sure to answer all of the follow-up questions.  If the distribution code on the Form 1099-R did not indicate a direct rollover, then you should be asked what you did with the money from the distribution.  The questions will ask specifically about putting it into a Roth account and if you indicate 'no' to the Roth questions then it is assumed that it went to a Traditional IRA instead.

 

Use the following steps to get started:

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner)
  • This opens a box where you can type in “1099-R” and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to 1099-R
  • Click on the blue “Jump to 1099-R” link
