How do I get the form for my 1099-R?

Yes, you didn't give me the form. If you don't have the form, I will have to file someplace else.

What form?  For most people the info on the 1099-R goes directly to line 4b (IRAs) or line 5b (pensions) of form 1040.  When needed, TurboTax will put info on line 4a or 5a of form 1040 and generate form 8606.  I will also generate the penalty or penalty exception form 5329, if needed.

TurboTax does not have access to your Form 1099-R nor will any other tax preparation software company. 

You receive this form from the plan administrator who should have mailed you the form no later than 01/31/2022 for a 2021 distribution.  If you have not received the Form 1099-R then you will have to contact the plan administrator for assistance in getting the form.

 

If available you may be able to import the form.

See this TurboTax support FAQ for importing a form 1099 - https://ttlc.intuit.com/community/entering-importing/help/how-do-i-import-my-1099/00/26254

 

Once you have the Form 1099-R use this procedure to enter the form -
