Retirement tax questions

Try going back to the beginning of the Form 1099-R entry screen and delete the Form 1099-R that you entered.  

 

Use these steps:

 

  • On the top row of the TurboTax online screen, click on Search (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax locate the search box in the upper right corner) 
  • This opens a box where you can type in “1099-R” and click the magnifying glass (or for CD/downloaded TurboTax, click Find)
  • The search results will give you an option to “Jump to 1099-R
  • Click on the blue “Jump to 1099-R” link
  • Click Delete or the trash can icon next to the Form 1099-R that is asking you for information about a substitute form

Then, re-enter the Form 1099-R information.  Pay close attention to the very first screen and be sure that you do not check the box stating that you need to prepare a substitute 1099-R.  Once it is checked, the information cannot be changed without deleting the 1099-R and starting over.
