Retirement tax questions

Should be OK that way.....I had that too for a couple years.

What will be critical is a question the software asks on one of the pages after the main 1099-R form is  filled in.   The question asks if you got regular payments for that 1099-R and you make that selection....   (The 1099-R shows total payout, but you received monthly or quarterly payments.....yes?) .   Getting regular payments just means that you are receiving your normal pension...just a bit early, and that selection exempts you from any penalty.  It is income for taxes though.

In the year you turn 39.5 years old, you'll likely get two 1099-R forms.  One with a code 2 and one with a code 7.  and the yearly total will divide up the before vs after age 59.5 $$.
