1099R imported correctly but processed on 1040 incorrectly

[nojean513]

My 1099R shows that the taxable amount was $14,000 and the tax withheld was $2,100.  On the 1040, it shows on line 4b that the taxable AMOUNT was $2,100, not the $14,000.  The 1099R was imported from the Merrill Lynch website directly and appears to me to be imported correctly on the 1099R worksheet.

I believe I'm looking at having to file an amended return, and most likely pay the difference.  But, I don't know how to amend my Turbo Tax return to get the correct result. 

Am I going to have to do it manually and not through the software?  This seems that it should fall under the 100% accuracy guarantee also.  I don't have a notice from the IRS, but something is wrong with the mapping/processing of the information it appears.

Thank you!

No this is not covered by the accuracy guarantee ... all imported information must be reviewed and confirmed by the user PRIOR  to filing the return .... since this was not caught you must wait to see if the IRS catches it when they process the return which they should if the box 4 amount that should be $2100 was reported as zero.

If you do need to amend, then all you will do after starting the amendment process is to go back to that 1099-R and make the corrections needed ... you may need to delete the 1099-R and enter it again manually.  Also you will need to amend the state return as well if this effects it too.

Did you ever get a solution for this and determine what happened and what to do? I am seeing the same situation and this is the first one I've seen about the same problem!! It is correct from 1099r but wrong on filed 1040. Makes no sense.

Exactly what is the problem that you are having?   What do you see that is wrong?

[haleyc77]

Same like the original poster. Attached photos below. The 1099 shows entered correctly even when looking at amending. 

This was a 401k distribution in cash, not a rollover, and the entire amount is taxable.

[macuser_22]

That indicated that when the 1099-R was entered into TurboTax you answered the interview questions that the money was all moved to another retirement account so only the amount of tax withheld was not rolled over that it is taxable.

Line 4c shows $29,276 was rolled over and line 4d is the $5,482 amount of tax withholding that is still a taxable distribution  and it says ROLLOVER.    Looks fine to me.

[haleyc77]

It was not marked as a rollover.. that's what I said... that's the problem....

[macuser_22]

The only way for it to be a rollover is the interview question or if you entered a code G into box 7 which is automatically a rollover.    If imported, perhaps the code imported incorrectly or was wrong in the import.

Delete the 1099-R and re-enter manually.

[haleyc77]

Exactly the problem... I am fully aware of the different distribution codes and questions asked. It is marked correctly. I guess upon looking at amending I will try to remove it and add again. Doesn't make sense to have to do that when it is all correctly entered. 

[macuser_22]

I cannot tell you how it happened, only how to fix it.     This is a well tested section  of the software that has not changed in years.  In 10 years I have never seen such a problem when it was not caused by a bad import or user error.  (Some times entered incorrectly and then trying to edit to change things will remember the first entity so is is best to delete and re-enter.)

By the way, if you go back and review or edit a 1099R it doesn't keep your answers from before but resets them to the defaults so you will have to enter all the boxes again and go though all the questions again.

Delete and reenter the Form 1099-R.
