1099R Imports All Missing Distribution and Taxes Withdrawn

[kspies007]

All of my 1099R imports from Janus, Vanguard, Morgan Stanley, and Fidelity are missing the distribution amounts and the taxes withheld. The rest of the information comes such as it's inherited, it's an IRA, the state that is involved, etc but nothing for distribution or withholding.  Can anyone explain this?

Ok I figured this out.  All of those empty 1099's were blank forms TurboTax creates based on the previous years filing of a 1099 from that place.  I searched and found all of those 1099's were sent in 2021 only so they weren't actually imported from the institutions but just emptyish shells TurboTax gives you to fill in the numbers to save you typing.  I'm not sure I'm a fan of it but at least now I know and hopefully you do as well.  🙂
