My dependent received a 1099-R and had Federal income tax withheld. Where/do I enter it on my tax return?
Best answer by null725
You can not enter a dependent's 1099-R on your tax return. The dependent has to file their own tax return and report the 1099-R there.

If the 1099-R income is the only income my dependent has, and the federal income tax has already been withheld, what's the advantage or requirment for filing their own return?
