Can I enter the information from the 1099-R myself. There are changes on the form from 2019? Where can I find the 1099-R form?

I received a Gross distribution in 2020 and Federal income tax was withheld. How can I pull  up the 1099-R to enter this info myself?

Enter a 1099-R here:

Federal Taxes,
Wages & Income
(I'll choose what I work on - if that screen comes up)
Retirement Plans & Social Security,
IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).

OR  Use the "Tools" menu (if online version left side) and then "Search Topics" for "1099-R" which will take you to the same place.

Be sure to choose which spouse the 1099-R is for if this is a joint tax return.
Be sure to pick the correct 1099-R type: Standard 1099-R, CSA-1099-R, CSF-1099-R, RRB-1099-R.

[NOTE: When you get to the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen where you can add another 1099-R, use "continue" to keep going as there are additional interview questions after that screen in most cases. You can always return as shown above.]

I entered the disbursement information, but somehow the information was entered twice. How can I correct this?

Delete the unneeded 1099-R.
