Retirement tax questions

Thank you for the steps. Do I need to list the financial institution information such as Vanguard, their address, and their TaxId as I complete the boxes of the 1099 R? 


Yes.   You are filing a real 1099-R early, however the information  is just to satisfy TurboTax to think that it is a real 1099-R because nothing other then the 1040 line 4  information goes to the IRS.    The "form" you enter is just a data entry screen and not a 1099-R form.

 

(The only time that the 1099-R information goes to the IRS is for there is tax withheld in box 4 on the 1099-R).
