On the Form 1099-R which box was used to report these premium payments?

They may come out as pre-tax.  Is box 2a less than box 1 for it?

Don't think it matters what box 2a or 5 state ... the real question is why doesn't TTax show info for my spouse that IS shown and entered from her 1099r?

Make sure when you entered your 1099-R's that you designated one as yours and one belonging to your Spouse.  This is a common entry error. 

 

If you're using TurboTax Online, close the program, clear your Cache and Cookies and return to that section.

 

If you're using TurboTax Desktop, in FORMS mode, review the 1099-R Summary  to see entries for both you and your spouse.

Thanks Marilyn, but that's "exactly" what I have done - several times.  I entered 'exact' info for both my wife and myself from our 1099-R forms; and, even deleted the info and reentered it. 

I have used Turbo Tax for the last 32+ years and I also worked for Intuit as a Tech Support Lead & Manager for seven years, so I really do know what I am doing in TTax.

The 'Form 1099-R Summary' and the 'Schedule A Medical Expenses Worksheet' forms still show info only from/for my 1099-R and NOT from/for my wife's 1099-R.  So there must be a 'program issue', since I am doing everything correctly -- and not making a 'common entry error.'

It actually doesn't matter in the long-run for us, since we'll take the standard deduction; but it is just very frustrating that the program I have used and supported for so long still has basic errors.

Thanks again, for your time!

I would like to take a deeper look at this. However, I need a diagnostic file which is a copy of your tax return that has all of your personal information removed. You can send one to us by following the directions below:

 

TurboTax Online:

  1. Sign into your online account.
  2. Locate the Tax Tools on the left-hand side of the screen.
  3. A drop-down will appear. Select Tools
  4. On the pop-up screen, click on “Share my file with agent.”
  5. This will generate a message that a diagnostic file gets sanitized and transmitted to us.
  6. Please provide the Token Number that was generated in the response.

TurboTax Desktop/Download Versions:

  1. Open your return.
  2. Click the Online tab in the black bar across the top of TurboTax and select “Send Tax File to Agent” *
  3. This will generate a message that a diagnostic copy will be created.  Click on OK and the tax file will be sanitized and transmitted to us.
  4. Please provide the Token Number (including the dash) that was generated in the response.

*(If using a MAC, go to the menu at the top of the screen, select Help, then, “Send Tax File to Agent”)

Thank you, Susan.  I will send a diagnostic file later today. 

More info:  The $1,820.90 ($1,821) figure shows for each of us in/on block/line #5 of the Forms View for 'Distributions from Pensions, IRAs, etc' for our individual 1099-Rs from the Office of Personnel Management.  So again, why isn't that number being shown for my spouse on the 'Medical Worksheet and 1099-R Summary forms'?

Thanks again!

Have a good day and tax-season!
