I am under 59 and took a Roth IRA distribution for the full amount. I had it for more than 5 yrs and I am permanently disabled. 

 

Here is info from 1099-R:

1 Gross distribution $19,421.49
2a Taxable amount
2b Taxable amount not determined (X)
Total distribution (X)
....
7 Distribution code(s) J
IRA/SEP/SIMPLE ( )

 

Since I meet the criteria for the distribution to be penalty and tax free how do I enter the information so that happens.

    Are you sure it is taxable? Look on Line 4b of your 1040.

     

    A Roth with Code 7 in Box 7 would need an additional identifier. 

     

    B

    Designated Roth account distribution.  NOTE: If code B is in box 7 and an amount is reported in box 10, see the instructions for Form 5329.

     

    Q

    Qualified distribution from a Roth IRA.

    Thank you for the response.

     

    The total early distribution I took from this Roth IRA is not taxable and is penalty free because I had it for more than 5 year and the exception I have is that I am totally disabled. 

     

    The question I have is how do I enter the information in TurboTax for that 1099-R inorder for the application to recognize that?

     

    The 1099-R has Code "J" in Box 7 and Box 10 is blank.

    The 1099-R follow-up screen will ask about exceptions to the penalty - disabled is one of them.
