Retirement tax questions

This is a two part answer. 

First, you need to enter the full income that matches the 1099-R. See How do I enter my 1099-R?

Second, you need to subtract the portion you paid back. The programs vary a little with wording; but, the concept is the same.

 

  1. Open to federal income
  2.  Locate Other or Less common income
  3. Locate Miscellaneous Income, 1099-A, 1099-C, Start
  4. Scroll to the bottom
  5. Other reportable income, Start
  6. Other taxable income?
  7. Select YES
  8. Description 1099-R paid back
  9. Amount, enter your negative amount, use a minus sign in front.
  10. Continue

I am sorry for your loss. The IRS has a quick  How Do I File a Deceased Person interactive assistant. It is very detailed and may give you additional information.
