Retirement tax questions

It depends. First of all in entering your RMD, make sure you check the box in the form that mentions IRA/SIMPLE/SEP box is checked. Check the Box if not checked. Also make sure that the distribution code in Box 7, has a code 4.

 

  1. In the follow-up screen, Do any of these situations apply to you? Check the Box that mentions that you inherited this IRA.
  2. Next Screen will ask information about who this was inherited from.
  3. Then it asks if you deposit the funds in your own account.
  4. Then it asks when the spouse (or another person) was born. This actually triggers the RMD requirement.
  5. Then it asks how much of the distribution was an RMD distribution.  How you answer this question is critical.
  6. Then it asks again what the required distribution amount should be.  Turbo Tax does not calculate this for you.

See if this works.
