Retirement tax questions

I pulled some of my retirement and split it up into three years as well and last year was my first year of splitting it into thirds. What do I do differently this year for my second out of the final three years? Do I get a new 1099 form? 


No you do not.   You enter it in the 1099-R section on the new 8915-F form. 

 

Reporting the 2021 CARES act retirement plan distribution for 2020 that gave you 3 years to repay it back to the plan will be part of the 1099-R interview. If you do not have a 2021 1099-R it will ask if you have a 2021 1099-R, if you answer no it will ask if you have 1099-R income - say no and it will then ask if you had a disaster distribution from 2017-2020 - say yes. Currently it will say that the form is not ready yet - check back later.

This will be reported on a new 8915-F form that is still in the draft state at the IRS. Once the IRS finalizes that form the IRS must then write the e-file specifications (schema) for TurboTax (and all other e-file providers) to program from. That usually takes 2-3 weeks after the paper form is finalized.

Most likely he new form will be available sometime in March - well before the April 18 filing date.
