Retirement tax questions

When your advisor facilitates a distribution to your bank, it is still considered a taxable event and must be reported on a 1099-R form. TurboTax may not automatically recognize all RMDs without clear distinction.  Please be sure to enter each 1099-R Separately: Make sure to enter each 1099-R form individually in TurboTax.

 

Here's how to ensure everything is correctly reported:

  1. Sign into TurboTax
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R that you used for QCD
