  2. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R
  3. On the "Required Minimum Distribution" screen enter RMD for this account 
  4. On the "How much of This Distribution Applied to your December 31, 2024 RMD" select "Some of this distribution…" and enter the RMD amount / or select "The entire distribution applied…"  (if this distribution includes RMD for other IRA accounts then you included the amount here)

  7. On the "Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts?" screen select "None of these plans failed to withdraw the RMD" if you met all of your RMD for 2024, otherwise select what is applicable. 

 

 

Note, if you had one IRA that had a RMD but you didn't withdraw anything because you took the RMD from other accounts then you will select  "An IRA..." on the "Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts?" screen. On the next screen "Total RMD for all other IRAs" enter the RMD from your other IRAs, where you didn't take a distribution from. If entered correctly then you shouldn't get an other RMD questions after this.

 

Also, when you met the RMDS for 2024 then Form 5329 will not get filled out and will not be sent to the IRS. The Smartsheet showing up on Form 5329 in forms mode does not get sent to the IRS.
