Retirement tax questions
To correct the tax liability, you will need to complete specific "Inherited" and "Roth" sections to show that the distribution is non-taxable.
First,
- Review your Form 1099-R from Charles Schwab, checking Box 2a to ensure it is zero
- Next, check Box 7 for the distribution Code Q or Code T
- If it is Code Q, TurboTax should automatically know it's tax free
- If it is Code T, TurboTax will ask you follow-up questions related to the 5-Year Rule before it removes the tax
Next,
- Return to your 1099-R entry by clicking Review to the right of IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) in the Federal Wages & Income
- Click on the pencil to the right of the 1099-R
- Click Continue through the entries you've made
- Ensure you selected, I inherited this IRA, and that you have identified it as a Roth IRA, then Continue
- Ensure you answer Yes when asked if the Roth IRA was opened before 2021, Continue
- Next, "Let's get more information about your RMD", enter the distribution amount pertaining to the RMD, Continue
- Next, select, Some of the distribution applied to the December 31, 2025 RMD (and enter the RMD amount), Continue
- Next, in the Review your 1099-R summary, Continue (not the pencil)
