Retirement tax questions

My husband took a loan against his IRA in December 2021 of $200,000 and also took out his RMD of $20,000.

The loan was paid back within 60 days, on January 28, 2022, and is not taxable.   The 1099R shows the total amount of $220,000 as gross and taxable (1 and 2a) and 7 in Box 7.   Turbotax Deluxe asks how much was taxable and he entered $20,000,  but then it asks what is in Box 7 and when he entered 7, it made all of the $220,000 taxable.   We want to file electronically, but this will need a written explanation.  The payer will not issue a new, or separate, 1099R.

How do we manage this?


When you enter any 1099-R, you should see a screen for "what did you do with the money," and the choices are "Rolled over all to another account" and "something else."  When you click "something else," a further question opens to ask for details, and one of the choices is "rolled over part."  Indicate you rolled $200,000 over into a qualified account (the same account, in your case).  The remaining $20K will be taxed.

 

(What you did is considered a rollover, even though it was rolled back into the same account.)
