I'm completing my mother in Laws tax return who is 88. Her husband would have been 91 this year and she has been receiving this annuity since his passing 15 years ago. I don't know what to plug into the TurboTax fields. When researching this they talk about Simplified and General rule calculations vis Publication 721which is a 100 page long. HELP
Yes, the Statement of Survivor Annuity Paid CSF1099R from the Office of Personnel Management looks a little different, but it is just another 1099-R.
Due to the age of the original annuitant, the basis of the annuity should have been recovered already.
Here's how to enter it in TurboTax Online:
I went to Forms in My Return in TurboTax, then scrolled down to the OPM 1099-R. At the top of that form, there is a line labeled "Source Form" which includes an option for CSF-1099-R. When I checked that box, it automatically put the box 1 amount into box 2a, which is what I wanted.
