If you cannot get a 1099-R issued for your retirement distributions (please verify with the plan administration) then you will have to create a substitute 1099-R:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Go to Income and Expenses
  3. Then choose IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R)
  4. Add 1099-R
  5. Select "Change how I enter my form" on the "Let's import your tax info" screen
  6. Select "Type it myself"
  7. Tell Us Which 1099-R You Have
  8. Continue through the questions until the "Do any of these situations apply to you?" screen select "I need to file a substitute 1099-R"
  9. Check the Box, I need to prepare a Substitute 1099-R
