Has this been fixed? As the medical expenses also didn't carry forward from my federal return to my New Mexico return. New Mexico allows for a deduction for all medical expenses even if they don't meet the 7.5% threshold.

Hi there,    @dmertz Looks like you really know 1099R. And I have a question similar to this. It's Code H. Box 5 is smaller than Box 1. I am not at the retirement age. I believe the difference should be ordinary income since the roth contribution is less. But it does not show up as ordinary income after I enter the form. Appreciate your help here. Thanks!

You should say YES - you will need to let TurboTax know how those shares were previously taxed through a W-2.   How do I enter Restricted Stock Units (RSU) sales in TurboTax Online?   When you receive an RSU award, you don't own the stock until it vests. Accordingly, there's nothing to report at the time of the award. Once the stock has vested, the fair market value of the stock gets reported as ordinary income, usually in box 1 of your W-2. In some companies, employees can earn dividends from unvested RSUs—these are also reported in box 1 of their W-2 forms. After vesting, you own the stock outright. Should you later sell those shares, you'll get a 1099-B, which will report the gain or loss from the sale.

I am pretty sure that TurboTax desktop does this incorrectly.  It appears to use the current year percent of use for the basis adjustment, not the lifetime percent of use.   Can we get this fixed?
