Retirement tax questions

If you didn't receive any money or withdraw any money from a retirement plan, you may not get a 1099 R. You'll get a 1099-R if you received $10 or more from a retirement plan. 

If you see a 1099-R transferred from last year, you can delete it. The easiest way to delete an unwanted or duplicate 1099-R is from the Your 1099-R Entries screen.

  1. Open (continue) return if you don't already have it open.
  2. Inside TurboTax, search for 1099-R or 1099R (lower-case works too) and then click or tap the "Jump to" link in the search results.
  3. This will take you to the Your 1099-R Entries screen.
  4. Select Delete next to the unwanted 1099-R and then answer Yes on the following screen.

If that doesn't work, see below:
