I was able to put it on my desktop so it "found" it - however unlike past years, it's STILL not showing the 2023 column so I can compare each category to this year which is one of the reasons I like to use TT each year. How can I get that to show up? (I'm not mid-taxes and don't want to start again so hopefully it can still load it properly). Thank you

If 5b is zero I wouldn’t worry about that. And it was probably a conversion not a rollover. @dmertz

Would replacing a leaking roof which is making the house unhealthy due to black mold be considered a hardship or emergency.

More info: 1040 line 5a has the correct amount from box 1 of 1099-r and 5b (taxable amount) is 0 as it is in box 2a of 1099-R. IRS instructions indicates that 5B should have a rollover designation.

I like your use of the MIT lecture hall as the address of the taxpayer. It took me a few seconds ... I am not sure if any of this is worth my time; the IRA basis is tiny compared to the total IRA amount and I filed only 1 8606 form of the 4 years, and that one is incorrect, so there is the $50/form to do that. However good problems to have.

Do you have enough earned income to contribute that much? You need W2 wages or a Net Profit on Schedule C. If you have self-employment income you can only contribute up to your net profit reduced by the deduction allowed for the ER portion of your self-employment taxes. See IRS publication 590A (page 39 for ROTH) https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-pdf/p590a.pdf So check 1040 Schedule 1 line 14. You have to deduct that amount from your Schedule C Net Profit. That will give you the allowed contribution for the 1099Misc income.

You can say no. It won’t affect your current registration.

I use Turbotax Business to file fiduciary returns for a trust. I’m confused as to how Turbotax Business handles different types of 1099-R income, specifically as it relates to the Net Investment Income Tax that only applies to certain types of 1099-R income. As I understand it, qualified annuity income is exempt from NIIT, but non-qualified annuity income is not. This trust has a large amount of non-qualified annuity income. Yet Turbotax Business (unlike Premier) only has a single box for entering the amount of a 1099-R distribution. I assume this is for Box 2a. But nowhere does it let you enter any other information about where the amounts came from. For example, there is no place for the distribution codes (Box 7). When the beneficiary K-1s are generated, what happens to this income? How does Turbotax Business know whether it should be subject to NIIT, if it doesn’t have a place to tell it that? On the beneficiary K-1s it generates for me, there is an amount in Box 5 representing each beneficiary’s share of this non-qualified annuity income. There is an identical negative amount in Box 14H, showing that this income is exempt from net investment income tax. But I doubt if this is correct. How did Turbotax come to that conclusion, and what should I do?

Expat living in Japan since 2010. I have been diligently filing both fed and il state taxes although I don't make any income in Illinois. Can I stop filing for il state taxes since I don't have any income at all in Illinois. I believe the website states if you file fed income tax you must file Illinois income tax. Please advise
