This is a pass through item from some other source (retirement fund). So it depends on what your father's income source was. Was he getting a military pension or an IRA distribution or an employer sponsored pension? The payor information on the form 1099R should provide some clue as to the source.
Normally, if it is not military or IRA, it is employer sponsored. However it could be an annuity that he had set up outside of employment. You will need to find the actual source of the 1099R. That will guide your selection.
Please clarify. I just want to confirm that you are working on state section and not in the federal section of TurboTax. What state are you referring to?
Hey there.
Yes, I'm working in the "state" section on Turbo Tax. Additionally, I'm referring to Arkansas.
It depends. If your Form 1099-R has a check box for an IRA, you should select that, if not, then you might choose an employer sponsored plan. If you know it was not a military pension, then that one would not be selected. If you are not retired, you should select 'Other'.
It's important to make the right selection because Arkansas residents over 59½ years old can deduct the first $6,000 in funds they take out of their IRAs and other retirement accounts. Persons would get this deduction using the same method. It is specifically for a person who is retired. As a beneficiary you must answer the question based on your age.
The 1099-R does not have a check mark in the box: IRA/SEP/ SIMPLE.
Additionally, I am not over 59 and a half and the distribution code was: 4. It's also not a military pension. So I should select other, or are you saying I should select employer sponsor pension plan. (I'm not sure if I said this above or not, but the money that I heard it was from a Trust, not a traditional retirement fund).
