Retirement tax questions

Yes, you create the 1099-R on your 2021 return, like mentioned above, to avoid having to amend your 2021 return when you get the actual 1099-R next year. You do not enter any taxes withheld because they belong on the 2022 return.

 

When you file your 2022 return you will enter the 1099-R as received. Ignore the message that you have to amend your 2021 return and TurboTax will know that the distribution isn’t taxable in 2022 because of the code P, but it will apply the taxes withheld to your 2022 return and reduce the taxes you owe that year.
