Retirement tax questions

It has to do with how you answered the questions after you entered the form. Go back and edit the 1099-R. The distribution should be a mix of basis and earnings. 

 

A qualified ROTH withdrawal has several requirements to be tax free:

  • A qualified distribution is any payment or distribution from your Roth IRA that meets the following requirements.
  • It is made after the 5-year period beginning with the first tax year for which a contribution was made to a Roth IRA set up for your benefit.
  • The payment or distribution is:
  • Made on or after the date you reach age 59½,
  • Made because you are disabled (defined earlier),
  • Made to a beneficiary or to your estate after your death, or
  • One that meets the requirements listed under First home under Exceptions in chapter 1 (up to a $10,000 lifetime limit).
