If I have 3 1099-Rs, two were rollovers (Code G and H) and one was a early distribution (J). Should the 10% penalty only be applied to the 1 that was early-distribution?

Nevermind!

I found the forms that TT was using to calculate the final number and saw for myself how it was being calculated.  Everything is fine.

This feature is pending. Thanks for your patience.

If I have 3 1099-Rs, two were rollovers (Code G and H) and one was a early distribution (J). Should the 10% penalty only be applied to the 1 that was early-distribution?

Correct.   The G and H are direct rollovers of a 401(k) and a 401(k) Roth.  Both are not taxable.

The J is a Roth distribution.  Only the earnings are taxable and subject to a penalty.  Your own prior contributions withdrawn are not.


You can always withdraw your own Roth contributions tax and penalty free.

Enter a 1099-R here:

Federal Taxes,
Wages & Income
I’ll choose what I work on (if that screen comes up),
Retirement Plans & Social Security,
IRA, 401(k), Pension Plan Withdrawals (1099-R).

OR Use the "Tools" menu (if online version under My Account) and then "Search Topics" for "1099-R" which will take you to the same place.

Be sure to choose which spouse the 1099-R is for if this is a joint tax return.
Be sure to pick the correct 1099-R type: Standard 1099-R, CSA-1099-R, CSF-1099-R, RRB-1099-R.

[NOTE: When you get to the "Your 1099-R Entries" screen where you can add another 1099-R, use "continue" to keep going as there are additional interview questions after that screen in most cases. You can always return as shown above.]

One of the followup questions will ask for your prior year contributions not previously withdrawn. Those contributions that still remain in the Roth will not be taxed or subject to a early withdrawal penalty. That will add a 8606 form to your tax return with the Roth contribution and tax calculation in part III.
