Retirement tax questions

If you have gone through the employer matching contributions section of the program, you will note that many plans are there, but not the SOLO ROTH 401k. The IRS actually requires you to enter your solo ROTH 401k contributions for two reasons: 

  • It must be recorded as a contribution to your plan and 
  • it must be taxed as income to you. 

The IRS approved method to report this is - a 1099-R for the year the funds are allocated. The code G in box 7 is the key. It tells the IRS the money when into a ROTH account. You can follow the steps outlined by @DavidF1006 above.

 

The 1099-R directions states that Roth  contributions  must be reported on Form 1099-R for the year in which the contributions are allocated. See Q&A L-9 of Notice 2024-2.
