TurboTax does not calculate.

You tell TurboTax the amount of RMD expected and distributed.

If 2025 is your first RMD year, the expected amount is zero.

how does turbotax calculate my rmd

If you know you received your required minimum distribution (RMD) then the amount of your RMD is the amount of the distribution. The plan administrator will calculate your RMD each year, which will be the amount distributed.

 

In other words, be sure to enter your required minimum distribution (RMD) for each 1099-R, and do not include the total RMD in only one 1099-R entry. This is what the statement is saying and as indicated, the RMD must be taken for each account. Your financial agency will automatically calculate this for each account based on your age.

 

Note: Do not include the RMD for other retirement accounts you my have. RMDs for other accounts should be entered separately.
