Retirement tax questions
RMDs are not eligible for rollover. Because you told TurboTax that the distribution was all RMD, TurboTax knows not to ask any questions regarding rollovers. If the distribution was more than your RMD and you rolled over only the amount in excess of your RMD, go back and correct the amount that you told TurboTax was required to be distributed to satisfy your RMD.
Despite how the custodian might record the deposit, the deposit of an RMD into an IRA constitutes an ordinary IRA contribution, not a rollover, so if you deposited any portion of your RMD into an IRA you must enter that portion into TurboTax under Deductions & Credits as an IRA contribution. Any amount deposited as an ordinary contribution in excess of the amount that you are eligible to contribute for the year is an excess contribution that is subject to penalty unless corrected by requesting that the custodian make an explicit return of the excess contribution by the due date of your tax return, including extensions.
