Retirement tax questions

I was able to get rid of "Rollover"

I could not say I did not roll any over.

I had to say I rolled some over, and enter zero.

 

I still get a different taxable amount from the other package which I believe does it correctly. I can see those forms but not the TurboTax forms.

the difference is around $200.

 

I believe the reason may be the following.

Instructions for Form 8606 state:

 

"If you have distributions unrelated to qualified disasters, as well as qualified disaster distributions, you will need to multiply the amount on line 15a by a fraction. The numerator of the fraction is your total qualified disaster distributions and the denominator is the amount from Form 8606, line 7."

 

Some of the packages I tried did not calculate and apply this fraction.

 

Can you see if TurboTax (Online or download) is doing that?

I can't see the forms so I don't know, but right now I'm inferring it does not.

 

Thank You.


Using the above figures, my 8606 15a is 164,999. (That is the $165,522 distribution minus $523 of basis).

 

Per the 8606 line 15 instructions line 15b would be:

 

164,999 X (100,000 / 165,522)  =  99,684.      The $99,684 goes on the 8915-R form line 13.

 

The part that I am having trouble understanding is why the taxable amount for 2020 is the 8606 line 15c ($65,315) and not the 8915-E line 19 (zero)  since more than 1/3 was paid back and should not be subject to 2020 tax.?
