Retirement tax questions

If you are currently working on your return, to enter your 1099-R, please complete the following steps below:

  • Sign in to TurboTax (if you're not already signed in)
  • Click on the Take me to my Return button
  • Click on Federal Taxes tab
  • Click on Wages and Income tab
  • Scroll down to Retirement Plans and Social Security 
  • Click on the Start/Update button next to IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R) and follow the Interview questions. 

If you are currently working on your return and need to add another 1099-R, please follow these steps:

  • Sign in to TurboTax (if you're not already signed in)
  • Click on the Take me to my Return button
  • Click on Federal Taxes tab
  • Click on Wages and Income tab
  • Click on Edit/Add (next to IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)
  • Click on Add Another 1099-R and follow the Interview questions. 

If you have already e-filed or mailed the return, then you will need to wait until the IRS has accepted or rejected that return before you can make any changes.  

  • If they reject it, then just make the needed changes (add 1099-R) and re-submit the return.  
  • If they accept it, then you will need to wait until you have received your refund and then amend that return to make changes (add 1099-R). You will need to send in any forms that caused the need for an amendment (Original 1040 Form, new 1040X Form and 1099-R). Print, sign and mail your forms to the IRS.
