Retirement tax questions

The transfer from the 403b should be entered as a rollover.

You may have entered the wrong code on the 1099-R (for the 403b) screen.  It's easy to overlook this question, but it's crucial.

Click Federal Taxes (top menu)

Click Wages & Income (just below top menu)

Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security and click Show More (if necessary)

Edit/Revisit that 1099-R and in Box 7, enter the code from your 1099-R form.

Hopefully the code is G (direct rollover).  If not, then take these additional steps:

At the What Did You Do with The Money screen indicate that I moved the money to an IRA or another retirement account and then select rolled over.

The net effect should be $8k added to your taxable income, and if you were under 59.5, an additional 10% early withdrawal tax.
