Retirement tax questions

Depending on the type of Form 1099-R distribution, it should be reported on your federal return as follows:

 

  • IRA Distributions: Gross distribution from 1099-R Box 1 is reported on Form 1040 Line 4a and the taxable amount from 1099-R Box 2a is reported on Line 4b
  • Pensions & Annuities: Gross distribution from 1099-R Box 1 is reported on Form 1040 Line 5a and the taxable amount from 1099-R Box 2a is reported on Line 5b

If that is not the case on your Form 1040, please respond back so that we can assist you further.
