I transferred $40K from a 401K account with Fidelity to my Roth IRA at Fidelity. How do I account for this in TurboTax?

You have to indicate in TurboTax that the distribution was rolled over to a Roth IRA. The rollover is taxable or partially taxable if you have basis (ie nondeductible contributions) in your IRA.

 

Enter your form 1099-R by following these steps:

 

  1. In TurboTax Online, open your tax return
  2. Click on Federal in the left-hand column, then on Wages & Income
  3. Navigate to the list of income categories
  4. Locate the section Retirement Plans and Social Security and click on the arrow on the right
  5. Click Start next to IRAs, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).
  6. Enter your form 1099-R and follow the interview
  7. When you arrive to the page Did you move the money to a Roth IRA?, click on the radio button Yes, this money was rolled over to a Roth IRA  and Click Continue
