Retirement tax questions

To enter your information about a Long Term Care contract distribution reported on Form 1099-LTC, try using these steps to get started instead of the 'jump-to' link:

 

  • Go to Income, then scroll to the bottom of the section to find Less Common Income
  • Scroll down to Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C and click Start or Update
  • Scroll down to Long-term care account distributions (Form 1099-LTC) and click Start or Update
  • Then follow step 3 that was referenced in your question to get started

 

Keep going through the screens until you see one that asks about Long-Term Care costs.  There will be a place to enter a number of days of care, the total cost of the care received, and the reimbursements you received.  The reimbursements would be the amount reported in box 1 of your 1099-LTC.
