How do I complete the RMD portion of my 1099-R entries so that I do not receive a review problem?

Should I check "entire amount?" for my RMD? If so should I leave the amount box blank or enter my entire taxable amount? amount? Or should I check "partial amount" and enter that amount of RMD in the box?

If the entire distribution was RMD your would select "the entire distribution was an RMD". I not, then select "Only part of this distribution was a RMD" and enter the amount of RMD. Enter full dollar amount.

 

Please follow these steps in TurboTax Online:

 

  1. Login to your TurboTax Account 
  2. Click on "Search" on the top right and type “1099-R”
  3. Click on “Jump to 1099-R” and enter your 1099-R
  4. Continue until "How much of the $XXXXX was a RMD?" screen and select "Only part of this distribution was a RMD" and enter the amount of RMD /or select "The entire distribution was an RMD" (if this distribution includes RMD for other IRA accounts then you included the amount here)
  5. Enter the RMD amount for this account on the "Let's get more information about your Required Minimum Distribution (RMD)" screen
  6. On the "Review your 1099-R info" screen click "Continue"
  7. On the "Did You Miss a Required Distribution From Any Retirement Accounts?" screen select "None of these plans failed to withdraw the RMD" if you met all of your RMD for 2024, otherwise select what is applicable. 

 

In TurboTax Desktop:

  5. On the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen click "Continue"
