I have received two 1099r forms from inheritance from my mothers death which amount do I use and where do I claim it?

[MichaelL1 · Accepted solution]

This is income that needs to be shown on the return, and the reason for two of them is your mother may have had two different account or one may be a Traditional IRA and one maybe a Roth.

A Roth will show as not being taxable income to you.

Enter each as follows and answer the questions that pertain only to that one 1099R.  After that one is in, then go to the next one and carefully answer the questions.
