Retirement tax questions

What is the year end statement from?  Your 401K or the IRA account?  Or personal investments outside of the 401K and IRA?  Is it a consolidated 1099 tax statement? 

If you have a consolidated tax statement. That will have sections for 1099-Int and 1099-Div and 1099B and maybe some other 1099s.  You need to enter each section in the right place.  So read it carefully and look for headings.... 1099-INT for interest or 1099-DIV for Dividends or 1099B for sales.  I highlight each heading with a yellow highlighter to find them.

 

If you have any 1099B for investment sales you will need to use the Online Premium version.  Or any Desktop CD/Download program.

 

I think the 1099R has to be a separate form and not part of the consolidated statement.  If it was a direct trustee to trustee transfer you might not get a 1099R and you don't have to report it.  If you can log into your old 401K account  you might be able to download a copy of the 1099R.  A lot of places have them posted online.
