Retirement tax questions
Enter it as closely as possible. You may have to search the internet to find Payer's ID#, address, etc. Turbo Tax will fill out Form 4852, Substitute for Form 1099-R.
You should have an option when you enter your 1099-R interview (see screenshot below):
Substitute Form 1099-R
If your plan administrator doesn't give you Form 1099-R for 2018 (or the one you receive is wrong and your plan administrator refuses to correct it), do your best to obtain the form or correction before completing a substitute on Form 4852.
You'll be required to:
- describe your communications with the plan administrator in your attempt to get the form, and
- attest to the IRS that you were unable to obtain it.
Complete a Form 1099-R as if you actually received the correct form. Enter as much information about the payer as you can, including name, address, and the amounts for 2018. Then complete the information for the substitute form.
