Retirement tax questions

Are you asking if you see your RMD on the tax return? If you met your RMD for 2024 then Form 5329 part IX isn't filled out. TurboTax will enter the information in the "Additional Retirement Account Smartsheet" to check that you met the RMD. You can see this in TurboTax Desktop when you switch to form mode and look at Form 5329 but this will not be sent to the IRS.

 

You can see the distribution on Form 1040 line 4 or line 5.

 

If you are unsure about your RMD then you can ask your plan administrator.
