Retirement tax questions
@vmorishetty , Namaste ji
You should be reporting this distribution on a form 1099-R ( pension benefits ). Box 1 and Box 2a should show the same -- total amount of distribution i.e. all is taxable. Box 7 code should be 7 ( normal distribution ).
If you want to be more of a challenger , you can try with Box 2a blank, and check Box 2b and Box 2c. This will lead TurboTax to ask questions and allow you to provide information on your total contribution to the plan ( assuming that this amount was after tax monies that you put into the account ). Thus the taxable amount would be your employer's contribution and any growth of contributions. However, you then have the burden of proving that your contribution total was with after tax income. This should be more tax beneficial but obviously more challenging to prove.
Is there more I can do for you ?
