Retirement tax questions

A Code 1 in Box 7 of a Form 1099-R indicates an Early Distribution, with no known exception, which would generate a 10% Penalty. 

 

Depending on what type of Retirement Account the distribution was from, here's more info on IRA Early Withdrawal Penalty Exceptions and Penalty Exception for Non-IRA's.

 

After entering your 1099-R, TurboTax will ask about any Penalty Exceptions you may qualify for.

 

Keep this 1099-R handy for when you sell the ESOP shares.  The amount reported in Box 2a will be the Cost Basis when reporting the sale later, with a Form 1099-B. 

 

Here's more info on ESOP Distributions on Form 1099-R.
