Retirement tax questions

Use Form 8853 to:

 

  • Report Archer MSA contributions (including employer contributions.
  • Figure your Archer MSA deduction.
  • Report distributions from Archer MSAs or Medicare Advantage MSAs.
  • Report taxable payments from long-term care (LTC) insurance contracts.
  • Report taxable accelerated death benefits from a life insurance policy.

Enter your 1099-LTC in TurboTax and TurboTax will apply the data to the correct forms.   Why do you think there should be no entries on Form 8853?   Section C is for long-term care contract reporting.
