Retirement tax questions

I already did that - several times. 

 

Once again - this is not the answer.  I think the program is confused by my birthdate.  I didn't turn 73 until after April 2024.  So I wasn't required to take anything during the 2023 filing.  I did take it -after I turned 73 in July  2024 and it is reflected on the 2024 taxes.   I really could have waited until 2025 - and have taken two RMD's.  The iRS allows that.  But I didn't want to get hit with more taxes next year.  Once again - I took more than the IRS said I had to - and it was reflected on the 1099 for 2024.  And had them take out an additional 30% of tax so I woudln't get hit with under withholding.  Turbo Tax keeps asking me I want to wait a letter requesting a explanation and a request for a waiver of penalty  - for what?  I didn't do anything wrong.  

 

Thanks to all of you I appreciate your attempt to be helpful.  But the software has a bug in it. 

 

But you can consider this matter closed.  I went to another tax service.  entered the exact same mounts and e-filed.  And my return  has already been accepted by federal and state.

 

Best to all of us.
