Retirement tax questions

To enter your retirement income, Go to  Federal> Wages and Income>Retirement Plans and Social Security>IRA  401 k) Pension Plan Withdrawals to enter your 1099R.

 

Enter all of the boxes from your 1099R.  The federal tax that was withheld is in box 4 of the 1099R.  If you had state tax withheld it is shown in box 14 of the 1099R.

 

You had tax withheld from the distributions from the retirement account, just like when an employer withheld tax from your paychecks.  When you enter it all into the software, the calculations are done to reconcile the amount of income you received and the amount of tax that was withheld.  You might owe more or you might get a refund.
