The IRS is quite clear that only taxable information should be entered. The program will tax what you enter as only you know if it meets the requirements.
A nontaxable transaction should not be entered and is repeated throughout Pub 970. Please remove the form and keep it with your tax files.
Please verify your transaction is nontaxable.
IRS Publication 970, Tax Benefits for Education states:
Any amount distributed from a QTP isn't taxable if it's rolled over to:
- Another QTP for the benefit of the same beneficiary or for the benefit of a member of the beneficiary's family (including the beneficiary's spouse),
- An ABLE account for the benefit of the same beneficiary or for the benefit of a member of the beneficiary’s family (including the beneficiary’s spouse). But this doesn’t apply to the extent the amount distributed when added to other amounts contributed to the ABLE account exceeds the annual contribution limit. For more information about ABLE accounts, see Pub. 907, Tax Highlights for Persons With Disabilities, or
- A Roth IRA for the benefit of the same beneficiary, if the distribution is a direct trustee-to-trustee transfer from a QTP account that has been open for more than 15 years and the amount distributed does not exceed total contributions (and attributable earnings) made to the QTP more than 5 years before the distribution date. However, this doesn't apply to the extent the amount distributed when added to other amounts contributed to Roth IRAs exceeds the annual contribution limit. For more information about contributions to Roth IRAs, see Pub. 590-A.
