Retirement tax questions

Please be aware, you only need to enter the value of all traditional/SEP/SIMPLE IRAs if you took a distribution/made a conversion. You will enter the value in step 8 below.

 

Please follow these steps to enter your Form 1099-R for conversion:

  1. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R” 
  2. Click on “Jump to 1099-R”
  3. Click "Continue" and enter the information from your 1099-R
  4. Answer questions until you get to “Tell us if you moved the money through a rollover or conversion” and choose “I converted some or all of it to a Roth IRA
  5. On the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen click "continue"
  6. Answer "yes" to "Any nondeductible Contributions to your IRA?" if you had any nondeductible contributions in prior years.
  7. Answer the questions about the basis from line 14 of your 2020 Form 8606 and click “continue”
  8. Enter the value of all traditional, SEP, and SIMPLE IRAs on December 31, 2021.

 

Please be aware, that TurboTax might use the Taxable IRA Distribution Worksheet (per IRS Pub. 590-B) to calculate the nontaxable portion. Then TurboTax won’t fill lines 6-12 of Form 8606 but you will have a star next to line 13.
