Retirement tax questions

Deleted 1099 and still not working.  It's still not calculating income over three years unless I sign the IRA/Simple/ on box 7 even though my distribution is coming from 401K account.

 

What is the difference between repaying within 2 months of taking out the money and rolling over within 60 days?   Perhaps I am not inputting the info correctly.   So I took out 50K in Dec and put back 20K in January and Feb - within 60  days.  Is this considered a rolloever?  In the software, I said that I did various things with the money I took out.   After that I get a few questions that are a bit trick.    When they ask if I did a rolleover - should I say 20K and when they ask if I repaid any- I need to say zero??   Or should I just say that I repaid 20K?    Please let me know.  I need to submit my taxes by latest tomorrow.  Thank you.

 

This is so frustrating.


Why tomorrow?  The filing date is April 15.

 

If you did a 60 day rollover then it is not a COVID related distribution at all, just a simple rollover.  Say it was not COVID related and then say you "moved" the money and rolled it (or part of it) . over.

 

Delete the 1099-R to reset prior answers and re-enter.

 

(You only say it was COVID related if you want to pay it back (or pay the tax) over 3 years.)
