Oh--and let's review----you are the one who went ahead and filed a separate return, thereby precluding the filing of a timely joint return.....but you are concerned that "she" might get hit with a penalty?   Not how it works Mr. Husband.....the penalty would be shared and would really be your fault.   But....if there is a refund on the joint return, there is no penalty.

What did you get a 1099R for?  After you enter the 1099R you need to enter how much was the RMD.  All retirement accounts have an RMD.  If you get a pension, Say all of it is the RMD.   If you need to take the RMD it will ask you if it is the RMD.  Say yes.  Anything your pension pays you is considered to be the  RMD.  Traditional pensions automatically fulfill the rules of an RMD. So for the RMD question put in the same amount as box 1.

At this time, you might want to file an extension until you can contact your employer. You can file for an extension here. You should make payment for amounts that you think you might owe via https://www.irs.gov/payments  Could your W-2 be available online?

My problem was resolved when my 1099 showed taxable amount undetermined. The amount overdrawn was put back into my retirement account, the tax was paid, but I got it back when I filed. Once you enter your 1099 it into Turbo tax, the program will lead you through the process by asking you questions which are easy to answer and the form that you must fill out is there also. One question you are asked is, did you ask for a corrected 1099. I answered yes, however my broker does not do corrected copies. Be sure you know your correct RMD and amount taken and the correct amount of taxes due and paid. I filed and the IRS accepted it.

No. Not figured out. Both Dmertz and Volvo who try to answer keep on insisting that it is due to "low income".  I am not going to state my income on this community board, but that is definitely NOT the case.  They were not able to answer or explain. Nor to give an example of how much income they actually think is "small".  I can say that I made more income this year than in previous years and never have I had TT register the contribution as having no impact to my tax liability.  No one can explain it nor provide an example
