Do you have a TurboTax Online account?

We'll help you get started or pick up where you left off.

I have a 1099-R that is blank on the space for "amount taxable." But when I leave it blank in turbotax, I am told there must be a number entered, even if it is zero. ??

In 2020, I withdrew all money from an inherited Roth IRA I received from my mom in 2007. It was much greater than the RMD. Is that all taxable?

  1. Return to the 1099-R, edit/update
  2. Box 1 gross distribution
  3. Box 2 taxable amount, enter the full amount
