I changed companies last year and had to rollover my old 401K and Roth 401K into an IRA and a Roth IRA respectively. Do I need to enter these amounts as contributions?

My new company does have a 401K that I contribute to. So, now I have 3 retirement accounts- traditional IRA, Roth IRA, and company 401K. Do I need to report the rollover contributions from previous employer into my traditional IRA and Roth IRA as contributions in "deductions and credits?"

no, rollovers are not contributions. Report the rollover in the Retirement section. Report your contribution by entering your W-2, which will have the amount with code D.

 

You'll get a 1099-R if you received $10 or more from a retirement plan. You can add up to 20 1099-Rs in TurboTax.

Here's how to enter your 1099-R:

  1. Open (continue) your return, if you don't already have it open
  2. Locate the Search bar by the magnifying glass icon. Search for 1099-R and select the Jump to link in the search results
  3. Answer Yes on the Did you get a 1099-R? screen
    • If you land on the Review your 1099-R info screen instead, select Add Another 1099-R
  4. Answer any questions until you get to the screen Let's import your tax info. Here you can choose how you want to enter your 1099-R:
    • If your financial institution is a TurboTax 1099 partner, you can import your form. Select your institution from the list and enter your sign-in credentials, then select Get my form to start the import process
    • If you prefer to upload your 1099-R or type in the info yourself, select Change how I enter my form. On the next screen, select your preferred entry method
  5. Continue answering the questions to enter or review the info from your 1099-R.
