Retirement tax questions

It appears that you have a non-taxable "rollover", as well as your required minimum distribution (RMD) to enter in TurboTax.

 

To clarify, your Form 1099-R will not typically list your RMD. It will list your total distribution from your account.

 

Additionally, if you moved money from one company to another, that would typically be considered a "rollover" and not a taxable distribution.

 

Let's address your "rollover" first:

 

Review your Form 1099-Rs, looking for Box 7, Code G (non-Roth) or Code H. If you see either of these codes in Box 7 of your Form, this is your "rollover" Form 1099-R.

 

For your normal distribution Form 1099-R, look for Box 7, Code 7 (non-Roth), or Code B (Roth)

 

To report your Form 1099-R with Code G/H that reflects your non-taxable transfer of funds "rollover" in TurboTax, do the following:

 

  1. Go to Wages & Income
  2. Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security and click the down arrow
  3. Select IRA, 401(k)...(1099-R) and click Start
  4. Click Add a 1099-R
  5. Answer the questions regarding the 1099-R, ensuring you complete each box correctly
  6. Click on Continue
  7. On the, "Tell us if you moved the money through a rollover or conversion", select, "I rolled over...to another retirement account"
  8. On the, "Did you roll over all of the $ (Box 1) to another retirement account?" select, "Yes, I rolled over $...to a retirement account"

 

Now, let's address how to report your Form 1099-R, Code 7/B  that reflects your normal distribution (including your RMD:(

 

  1. Follow steps 1-6 above
  2. Continue through until you reach, "Let's get more information about your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)", enter your RMD
  3. How much of the distribution applied to your December 31, 2025 RMD? Choose whether entire, or "some of this distribution applied..."
  4. You will reach "Review your 1099-R summary", press Continue (not the pencil) and additional questions will generate for you to answer
  5. When you reach "Let's go over any required minimum distributions (RMD)", Continue (not the pencil)
