Retirement tax questions

Here is where you would make this Entry:

Proceeds from cash liquidation distributions are reported on Form 1099-DIV. There should be an option on the Div entry screen that your 1099-Div has info in more than these boxes .  click that and fill in the box amount for box 8 for the amount reported.

Then to the extent that the amount of distribution that is in excess of the recipient's original investment is taxable. The gain is then reported on schedule D.  You would do that as if you received a 1099-B.  So in search box type 1099-B and select jump to and it will get you to the investment sales section.  This is only reported to the extent the amount is greater than your cost basis!!!!!!!!!!!!

In most cases this is unreported on Schedule D.... normally your basis is greater.

The the amount is just a reduction in your cost basis.  You would only recognize gains only if it fully reduced your basis below 0.

I hope this helps!
