Retirement tax questions

When you amend your 2020 tax return then after you entered your Form 1099-R with codes P and J, TurboTax will ask what year is on the Form and you will select 2021. Then TurboTax will apply it correctly to 2020.

 

  1. Open your 2020 amended return 
  2. Click on the "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  4. Enter your 1099-R information
  5. Click "Continue"
  6. On the "Which year on Form 1099-R" screen say that this is a 2021 1099-R.
  7. Click "Continue" after all 1099-R are entered and answer all the questions.
  8. Continue until "Did you use your IRA to pay for any of these expenses?" screen and enter the amount of earnings under "Another reason" if you are over 59 1/2 (if you are under 59 1/2 click "Continue") 

 

Please be aware, code P will say in the drop-down menu "Return of contribution taxable in 2019" you can ignore that since the follow-up question will tell TurboTax that it will be taxable in 2020.

 

 

Yes, if you are under 59 1/2 the earnings are subject to the 10% early withdrawal penalty, it will be calculated on Form 5329.

 

 

In regards to the missing file please contact customer service. Please see What is the TurboTax phone number?
